The event kicked off with a flurry of excitement as performers took to the stage, treating the audience to an unforgettable spectacle of talent. From graceful dancers to melodious singers, and even a few delightfully absurd surprises, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Adding an extra dash of excitement to the festivities, three courageous staff members volunteered for a live pie in the face auction, much to the delight of the cheering crowd. As whipped cream flew and laughter filled the air, it was evident that the spirit of camaraderie and fun was alive and well at Emerald Hill.
For the students, the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly seeing their beloved teachers step out of their usual roles and into the spotlight, demonstrating hidden talents and sharing moments of pure joy with their enthusiastic audience.
Reflecting on the event, third-grade teacher Annie Burgh remarked, "“It was so much fun getting to entertain families and see how much the students enjoyed themselves. Moments like these truly bring our school community together."
In a nail-biting finish, the audience had the difficult task of voting for their favorite acts. Ultimately, it was the third-grade tap dancers who claimed the third-place spot, followed closely by Froggy Mayhem in second place. However, it was the electrifying performance of the fourth-grade light-up dance troupe that stole the show, earning them a well-deserved first place.
Describing the winning act, fourth-grade student Reed Chernay exclaimed, “Nothing can compare to what the fourth grade teachers did. They even came into the audience and gave out glow sticks!”
