Talent Show Results & Weekly Reminders

1st Place at the BIS Talent Show

Thursday at BIS, we had our annual Talent Show!  It was amazing!  The kids signed up and performed for the school, parents, and faculty.  There was great dancing, singing, skits, and more!  My 3rd and 4th grade class performed 2 skits that I learned from the previous camp directors at Sabine Creek Ranch, Rob and Misti.  Thanks Mr. Axworthy for recording the skits!  The kids were incredible!  I think that's why we won 1st Place!  

Here are the links to the videos of their skits:
