We knew from the PILE of audition slips turned in that this was going to be a great year for the Horace Mann Talent Show! In the end, 16 acts were chosen to perform on Friday afternoon in front of a live, whole school audience -- along with family members of the performers.
Big thank yous go to the adults who made this show possible: HMES Staff Members: Ellen McCafferty and Aaron Waryk
Parent Volunteers: Heather Facaros, Wendy Hoppel, Laura George, and Melanie Condosta (please forgive me if I've left anyone off this list)
