Center Stage: Senior Event

Last Friday we had our second senior event in effort to raise more funds for our senior trip. This event included some raffles, a dessert bar, the senior store (drinks and candy), and a talent show. We had around 170 people there, and it was a packed house! We had 20 acts, and they were all amazing. The best part is, we made the amount of money we were shooting for!! It really turned out to be a great event. Here are a few pics below of the talent show. Kelly was one of our favorite acts, she hand painted an eagle (above), and did a charcoal drawing of Jesus (below) to music, so she was on a time limit. Afterwards, she gave a touching talk about using your gifts for God. It is so neat to see how she has grown. DK "dressed up" like Tiger Woods and did some sweet tricks bouncing a ball on his golf club.
The picture below is of a group of our middle school Korean girls who did a dance to "Shout to the Lord" in Korean. I was impressed with their moves!
This is one of our sixth grade students Ralph, and he has only been at VCS a few weeks. Yet he was brave enough to get up in front of a crowd and sing his heart out! He sang "I Believe I can Fly" and he totally owned the crowd! He ended up getting second place!
This is the winning group, the 6th grade girls who did a cute skit. The skit was about being loved just the way we are. The prize was a gift certificate to the senior store!
Finally, this is a picture of our three "celebrity" judges. From left to right is Matt, Ms. Helm (first grade teacher), and Mr. Stockett (business manager). They did a great job!
