Go Huskies! 

Last night, Betsie Valley Elementary held their talent show.

There were such an phenomenal performances!  

There was Dancing, Singing, Gymnastics, Drawing and a few Taekwondo performances.

A huge thank you to Ms. Shelia, Ms. Alyssa, Mrs. Hathaway and Ms. Jen. 

They did such a amazing job putting it together and making it a magical performance. 

They couldn't have done it without the help of Ms. Sheila's husband Rich and granddaughter Alice, and of course Mr. Kelly for being their host for the night. 

Congratulations!

It is yet another great day to be a Husky.
