Over the past few months, the Eisenhower High School journalism classes have been visiting the kindergarten classes. They started their visits by reading children’s stories to the kindergarteners. This was done so that the kindergarteners would feel more comfortable with the journalism students upon their return in the following weeks. On their next visit, the students asked the kindergarteners to write a storybook of their own with them.

In hopes of becoming the champion of talent, students in grades K-12 at EHS came together to compete in the annual Talent Show on November 11th. Although there were many talented students with artistic abilities, only few could become the stars of the show. Because the show was split into two categories, elementary and a combination of middle and high school, there were a few winners of the competition. At the elementary level, participants ranged from grades 2-5 but the second graders stole the show. The first place winner was Layla Edwards, who sang and danced to “Grand Old Flag.” Her Veterans Day performance stole the hearts of the judges. In second place was Shawn Miller, who sang and danced to Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk.” Finally, in third place was Rachel Colbertson, who danced to “Waltz of the Flowers” from the Nutcracker. In the high school category, taking home the first place title was Morgan and Shannon Kellogg, singing “Stitches” by Shawn Mendes. In second place was Mikki Gifford and Naomi Haight, preforming an original Panic! At The Disco medley. Congratulations to all of the 2015 Talent Show contestants and winners!
