There had been some speculation in the hallways about what exactly your teachers were up to. Some teachers were seen huddled together, working in groups. There were rumors about a special performance involving a tricycle.
But the big question here wasn’t just what your teachers were plotting for Friday night. The real question was: does your teacher have talent?
Students got to find out at 6:30 pm on May 8 at the Teacher Talent Show, where the entire school was invited to watch teachers reveal their hidden talents in a one of a kind show.
This was the first year that teachers came out and put on a show for the whole school. Teachers have been giving very positive reactions to this talent show and were glad to get an opportunity to show off their talents. Performances included singing, dancing, acting, and playing instruments. Some teachers even performed in groups.
“The idea for the teacher’s talent show had been brewing in the theater department for a while now but there was never a right time to do it,” theater teacher Jenelva Carter said.
There were as many as 10 teachers participating in this unique show. Students were also very excited about seeing their teachers perform and learn about their hidden talents.
“All this week I’ve had my kids asking, ‘Miss, what are you doing? What are you performing?’” orchestra teacher Katherine Reiner said. “I couldn’t wait to show off for them.”
Teachers went to rehearsals after school all week to perfect their performances. “It’s cool that teachers had the opportunity to showcase their talents. I think it’s time to show our talents and enjoy what is offered,” Carter said.
The teacher’s talent show was both a competition and just for fun. This talent show had three judges who happen to be administrators, In the end, gift prizes were awarded to English teacher Kyla Mora in first place for her performance of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," orchestra teacher Katherine Reiner and theater teacher Jenelva Carter in second place for their keyboard and violin duet with vocals, and Antionette Harris in third place for her singing duet.
"I have to say this," principal and judge Donald Stewart said of Mora's performance of the chillingly murderous Poe story. " I am never having a one-on-one meeting with Ms. Mora alone again,"
