Comedians, jugglers, singers, pianists and Karate masters strutted their stuff at the Essex Elementary School Talent Showcase on Tuesday, November 9th.  The crowd cheered as students performed their awesome abilities, as WFSB personality Scot Haney served as emcee!  This special night was sponsored by the Essex Elementary School Foundation, a not-for-profit, volunteer organization that provides independent financial resources for worthy educational projects and enrichment programs, such as a mathematician-in-residence and an iPad lab.  Students walked away equal winners in this non-competitive talent show. Lead by EESF board member Cathy Poulin, the showcase utilized the skills of local volunteers, such as Patty Carver, of the Connecticut Children’s Theatre.  The event raised more than $400.00 for the organization.
