McGehee School Know It All

by Matilda K.


                 
   Have any of you heard about the upcoming talent show on February 1st? Well, now is the time to get excited about who is going to be in it and about the excellent and varied talents that will be presented.   Here are just some of the contestants: Conery Schmidt with Amelia Perret; Molly Stockmeyer; Martha Pinney; Matilda Knight; the 5th grade basketball team; Claire Beary; Mia Bowman; Sadie Thorne, and many more who are going to perform their hearts out just for you. This competition will only have one winner so it will be intense finding out who will take home the prize. But what is the talent show really about?  Two of the contestants in the talent show took part in an interview and they think they know.
       
       Sela Kline said, “It is for girls to show what they can do or to conquer a fear; to find your talent.”
  The talent show definitely allows girls to do things they like on stage in order for other people to see their talent, but Sela hints that sometimes there are other reasons than just taking the opportunity to show off a talent.
      
            Contestant, Molly Stockmeyer also had some very good ideas.  When asked, “Do you care if you win?” she gladly said, “Not really, it is just something for fun.”
    
        It was nice to see that the girls interviewed were not all full of themselves.  They were excited for the talent show and although they might want to win at heart, they know that that is not the only important thing.
    
       After catching a sneak peak at rehearsals, the talent of these young contestants is impressive.  It will be a very tough competition.  Hopefully, these performers will not focus on winning but on their future as performers. They should use this as a chance to perform and get experience.  Most importantly, they should never give up practicing their talents and reaching for their dreams. 
   
          The talent show will be held in the McGehee School Auditorium at 1:00pm. Hopefully many girls will be there to cheer for the ones they love and show just as much support for the others. There are many different reasons that McGehee has a talent show but it is definitely a reason to celebrate girls and what they can do.

      Good luck girls and have fun!
