GREAT TALENT SHOW 2010 ! 05/26/2010
"Dear Parents! There are no doubts that the Talent Show 2010 was a blast! I think that the name we’ve chosen for that event – Talent Show – is exactly what it was: children, teachers and parents had shown off their unique talents and everyone truly enjoyed it! We have received a very positive feed back from parents and guests who had been at the show. The description words we mostly heard were “amazing!”, “wonderful!”, “hard to believe it’s performed by elementary school age kids”, “very well arranged and staged”. Thank you for your appreciation! THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING THE SHOW SUCH AN AWESOME EVENT!"
