On Thursday, January the 19th, the students, faculty, and staff at The June Buchanan School took a break from the classroom to celebrate the many talents of those around them. The JBS talent show is a yearly event that serves as a lighthearted opportunity for students in K-12th grade to demonstrate their talents and build confidence while surrounded by their supportive JBS community. Students laughed and cheered for their fellow classmates, but the event also serves as an opportunity for the students to give back to their community. All proceeds from the talent show go to Pennies for Patients: Leukemia & Lymphoma society. Over the past three years, JBS has raised over $10,000 for Pennies for Patients through asking for small donations at various JBS sponsored events, such as the talent show. This year’s talent show was hosted by JBS faculty member, Natalie Gibson, who encouraged the students and visiting family members to help JBS continue to support Pennies for Patients.
