- It is that time of year again where we want YOU to be able to showcase your cool and unique talent! This year, our talent show will be included within a winter assembly that will be put on by your very own student council. This assembly will take place on December 18th after 2nd period so all of the students who take Kirkwood classes also have the opportunity to display a talent. If you are interested in showing your talent please let us know your name and your talent that you would like to showcase by signing up in the link below. All talents will need to be approved by Mr. Schauf before it may be shown to the school, so a try out will take place before or after school. Please indicate which works best when you sign up. We look forward to seeing what you can do!
