To begin, we would like to thank all of those who participated in putting together and performing at Oscars this year. The Oscars is a yearly event hosted by Student Government, and this year we raised over $500 at the event.
At the event, we were able to see some great talents shine through. To begin, there was the spectacular “Swim Team” performance that included a group of senior boys that created a beautifully elegant synchronized swimming routine. Other acts included vocal performances by Ryan Fila, Madison Graham, a group of choir kids, Brianna Bivins, Paolo Diola, Marcella Fabiano, Sierra Reitz, Blake Drumhiller, and Mitch Morley. There was also a group of Junior girls that had a spectacular performance of a mash-up from Pitch Perfect.
