Regents School of Oxford Filled With Talent

            The fourth annual Regents School of Oxford Talent Show on March 25^th showed the community how talented their students are.  The fundraiser was held in the gymnasium, and all of the proceeds went to school renovations.

             Regents students of all ages were allowed to participate in the show.  The acts ranged from Saturday Night Live skits, to dog tricks, to choreographed dances.

“We danced to ‘Fire Burning’ by Sean Kingston.  Me, Ruthie, and Sam all like that song and it’s a good song to dance to.  We practiced for like, five weeks.”  Said Regents third grader, Sarah Jane Yerger.

            The sixth grade students and parents were in charge of the fundraising event.  Both students and parents worked on building the set at the school gym, and held after-school practices to prepare for the fundraiser.

“The talent show always brings in a good bit of money.  You get grandparents there, you get aunts and uncles, you get all family members, and then you get the kids that aren’t in it that want to come see their friends.  It’s a really good fundraiser.”  Said Regents parent Jane Yerger.

The talent show was a success, and the crowd loved the surprise ending with Elvis (the impersonator) performing at the end of the night.
