Description of celebration or activity:
Kids, teachers and students love the opportunity to show off their talents. Organize an end-of-school talent show and everyone can benefit from the financial rewards.

Getting folks to sign up to show off their talents shouldn't be too hard. Decide whether the school auditorium or gymnasium will provide the best (and coolest) venue. Artistic students can create colorful posters to put up all over town. Collect a small cover charge at the door.

The performers will have as much fun showing off their talents as the audience will have enjoying the show. And the proceeds from this year's event can be put toward next year's school uniforms, sports equipment or art and music programs.
