Wasco Weekly

Dear Families,

What an incredible evening we shared at last night's Talent Show! The theatre was alive with excitement as our amazing students took the stage to showcase their remarkable abilities.

A huge thank you goes to our director, Mrs. Faith Sax. Her organization of theatre arrangements—coordinating performers, sound, lighting, and stage hands—created a fun and professional production that allowed our students to shine.

There's something truly magical about the Wasco Talent Show that makes it my favorite time of year. Watching our students step into the spotlight with such courage and confidence is nothing short of inspiring. From musical performances to comedy acts, and dance routines, the diversity of talents on display reflected the wonderful uniqueness of our student body.

Equally moving was witnessing our audience—parents, teachers, and fellow students—responding with such genuine admiration, respect, and appreciation. The supportive atmosphere created a space where everyone felt valued and celebrated.

When we take time to honor and celebrate the gifts of others, our entire community grows stronger. Last night was a beautiful reminder that at Wasco, we all win when we lift each other up.

Thank you to everyone who participated in and attended this special event. The memories created will surely last throughout the year!

Kind regards,

Mrs. Brennan

Principal, Wasco Elementary School
