3. I’m Cici Lau. I am Tierra Range. I’m Ruth Bishop; and I’m Roger Kalmbach. Our class raised money and schlepped shovels and buckets to school so we could plant some 40 crepe myrtles. These blooming trees are our gift to the school, to the city and to the planet. The Class of 2012 was also successful with our recent Talent Show. Some 45 students participated in the project. We offered singing, playing, multi-media and an art show. The proceeds were one thousand and 84 dollars, after expenses. Which leads us to our presentations.
Hi! I’m Isabelle Vea. I’m Lexi Horne. I’m Maya Franklin. My name is Austin Brewer.
It is our privilege to present a $300 check to drama teacher Patti Reeves for the PAC sound system. We appreciated the use of the PAC in our recent show.
Next we have another performer from our talent show who has also written her own song. Please welcome Katy Pitts!
