Austintown Fitch High School hosted the Austintown Intermediate School fifth-grade talent show on March 15 and 16 in the Fitch auditorium.
Several fifth-grade students from Austintown Intermediate School participated in the talent show. The students put on a range of performances from singing to dancing to playing an instrument and many more.
The show on March 15 brought in families and friends of the students while the show on March 16 was during school hours so the students at Austintown Fitch and AIS could also watch their fellow classmates.
Some students danced while others sang, and some danced and sang at the same time. One boy rode his hoverboard while singing a song and another showed off his different Yo-Yo tricks.
The show came to a conclusion with a performance of “Fight Song” by Paula Hutchinson, a teacher at Austintown Intermediate School. The song was a tribute to Emily Orlaski, a student at AIS who is battling cancer.
Several students walked onto the stage holding posters with different, positive words describing Orlaski as a way to show their support.
The Austintown staff versus students basketball game, prior to the talent show, raised more than $5,000 to give to Orlaski and her family for help with treatment.
