Grade 6 Variety Show

I thought the variety show was very funny and I enjoyed the performances. There was a lot of dancing and some cool pogo jumping. I really liked the solo that one girl did. I thought hockey was very funny. I liked the end where everybody did the dance from High School Musical. I think it was really cool.
