The Good News Bears 4-12-17 CGS Annual Talent Show The CGS talent show was last Friday, March 31, in the gym. Students, parents and teachers crowded the gym to watch the many students perform in the annual talent show. The judges, Mr. and Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Strickland, announced the winners at 8:15 P.M. after deciding which 3 acts were the best. The winners are Blake Simmons, eighth grade, who came in first place and won $75, Elise and Lillie Sharpe, ninth grade, who came in second place and won $50, and Mackenzie Smith, eighth grade, who came in third place and won $25. Simmons played We are Young Fun on his saxophone, and later played in his family s band which played I Saw the Light on a variety of instruments. Both Sharpe s sang the classic 80s song Don t Stop Believing by Journey in a duet. Smith danced Smother by Daughter in her performance. The talent show was organized and held by the FCA to raise money for JJ French s medical expenses. Haley Walker, who is in twelfth grade, was in charge of setting the whole thing up. According to Walker, they raised just over $1,000 for French. Walker told me that everything went as planned for the most part, and it was a success in her opinion. I asked her if it was difficult to set it up, and she said No, it was pretty easy with Mrs. Vereyken s help. Walker also added I m just grateful that the FCA helped out as much as they did.
