The annual Lincoln Talent Show featured 34 acts during screen-free week at the school where the students of Lincoln Elementary dazzled the audience with amazing performances. First grade teacher Nicolas James organized the event with the help of the Lincoln Student Council, Principal Barbie Fariss and PTA moms Marisa Jamieson (who helped with talent), and Danielle Peters who assisted with the Talent Show bake sale.

Student council members Porter Brown, Dominic Mallan-Grupp, Genevieve Peters, Evan Khajkian, Thomas Capetanos, Sidney Besser, Katarzyna Wright, Audrey Evans, Ripley Lewis and Soraya Southwick helped run the show by organizing the talent, handling all the back-stage props and announcing the acts. A special thanks is extended to Lincoln’s amazing custodian Ozzie Padilla who made sure all the microphones and the sound system were in working order for the show.

There was a variety of talent during the two-hour show that featured singing, comedy, piano, violin and guitar playing, dancing, gymnastics (which included silks gymnastics), taekwondo, magician and even an energetic DJ.

The show ended with a confetti explosion over the audience, courtesy of the Lincoln Student Council.
