On Friday, June 12, MS 80 set the stage for the next generation of talented artists. This year at the annual talent show, there were 15 acts consisting of students ranging in age from 11 to 15.
Some noteworthy acts included Crystal Cruz performing her original poem “Life” and Leila Kolenovic singing “Crazier” by Taylor Swift. Also in the talent show were groups of dancers and another poet.
MS 80 Parent Coordinator, Miriam Alejandro, said the talent show had “a nice turnout,” and the audience was filled with admiring parents and friends of the performers. Alejandro also said the annual talent show is a place where “kids connect with each other.”
