Guests at Shaw Avenue Elementary School were treated to a night of music, dance and jokes at the school’s annual talent show, Shaw Got Talent, on Jan. 26.

Each year’s talent show presents a thrilling opportunity for students who are ready to shine under the spotlight. Shaw Got Talent allows students to show off their skills not typically seen in the classroom.

Fifth grader Ellie Zheng wowed the audience and opened the night with a complex performance of “Sorrow” on the piano. Across 20 more performances, Global Leaders of Tomorrow lead the way on the stage supported by laughs and cheers from the audience, including kindergartener Logan Martinez, who strutted his stuff to “Salsa for Kids” and concluded by tossing roses into the crowd, and fourth grader Liam La Voie, who honed his public speaking through a recitation of the poem “Remember” by Joy Harjo.

The show was organized by the Shaw Avenue PTA Talent Show Committee, who sold goodies and snacks to guests before the show.
