December Events
Time Capsule & Talent Show Extravaganza
On December 15, 2020 at 6:30pm, we will come together for a virtual night of family fun! We will share items from our students and staff that will be going into the 25th Anniversary Time Capsule, and showcase some amazing Hawk Talent! ALL HILBURN FAMILIES ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!
Here’s the scoop:
· We have 17 student performers and 2 staff performers!
· Each performer will have a 2 minute performance time.
· Performances include singing, dancing, comedy, gymnastics, art and magic!
· There is no judging of any kind. This is just for fun!
· Watch/Join the show on December 15 at 6:30pm by clicking this Google Meet Link: meet.google.com/jan-yuuu-wnj
· All microphones should be muted during the show, except for the performer!
· Because performers won’t hear applause, we ask that families create signs that say “GREAT JOB,” “YOU ROCK,” or “AWESOME,” etc. to hold up when each person is done performing.
