Talent Show 2015

There's No Place Like Edgewood!

We had a fabulous Talent Show this year, full of singing and dancing and cheering and skits. The only downside of our talented stage directors' excellent arrangement of acts: not enough time for jokes! And this year, you Edgewood kids gave me some great jokes! So here are the best that did not (and some that did) make it into our wonder-filled evening:
