Ana Segawa – Loveland, Colorado … Campion’s staff members displayed their talents to students in various presentations, with the intent of finishing the semester in a lighthearted way this past Saturday night.
Marc Winokan, freshman student, commented, “Staff talent show was really fun. I enjoyed all the acts, but my favorite was Ms. Johnson and Portia’s singing. Overall, it was a very fun night.”
Erin Johnson and Portia Kluchesky kicked off the program by singing classic Disney princess songs while dressed in costume and acting their parts.
Relatable to many of Campion’s students, a world history class was recreated with staff members as students and with Cindy Santana as the teacher. The typical behavior of students acted out by staff members provided many laughs.
Already a part of past staff talent shows, the well-known Helmdini, a.k.a. Dean Helm, made an appearance with his tricks that were highly anticipated by the audience. Some students were called to the front to participate in magic tricks.
In a bilingual activity, Jillian Harlow prepared a contest in which the competitors, mostly not fluent speakers, had to read sentences at random in Spanish. Staff members and students both participated and the audience voted for the best pronunciation.
Between presentations, April Riseley recreated TikTok trend videos featuring staff members. Rodolfo Segawa, sophomore student, mentioned, “I found the idea of doing the TikTok trends really creative. It was something unexpected, and it was really funny.”
The last activity was prepared by the Campion church pastors with a holiday theme. Pastor Taylor and Pastor Goetz were decorated as Christmas trees by two different groups of audience members while Pastor Bizama presented the activity.
Throughout the night, students had a chance to see staff members in a different light. Freshman student, Izuchi Nwankwo, remarked, “Seeing the teachers not in teacher-mode was really funny and seeing the staff as the ones participating in the program instead of outside guests was nice.”
