All right.

Well, speaking of talent, let's talk about our school district staff.

This year, staff competed in the very first ever singing competition just for district employees "CCSD's Got Talent."

And boy, do we have talent.

After multiple audition rounds, the finalists took the spotlight for the grand finale, and our cameras were there.

Check it out.

♪♪ (Brad Keating) So six months ago, I walked into my team, and I said, I have an amazing idea.

We've watched our teachers and our staff all across the district work with students and give them the skills and the opportunities to get on the stage and show their stuff.

Why not give our staff the same ability and same opportunity to do that?

So CCSD's Got Talent was created, and here we are, just a few months later, excited to see the 10 finalists in the first inaugural CCSD's Got Talent.

♪♪ -Hello, CCSD.

How you-all doing?

Somebody scream!

(Paul Casey) I am a primary autism teacher at Rundle Elementary School.

[singing] (Denise Diaz) Our staff are such hard working individuals.

And having them come together in an opportunity to share their talents, we already know that they're talented in the classroom and they have a passion for education, but what is their passion outside of the classroom?

(Robert West) My job is I'm a choir teacher at Clark High School.

Music is a great thing, and I love singing.

And this combines both of my talents together, education and music.

[singing] (Cynthia Schutz) I work at Tarkanian Middle School in the choir department, and I'm the instructional aide.

It has been so exciting.

The contestants are wonderful.

They're all great singers.

This has been just a lot of fun, so we're having a great time back there.

[singing] -So we're excited to see people come together and support one another and create that culture of support, that culture of recognition, and knowing that we aren't just school professionals, but we have things going on in our lives outside and highlighting those talents.

[singing] -The CCSD's Got Talent Grand Champion is--drum roll, please... Dominique!

[cheers and applause] -I'm Dominique Gaston, and I just won CCSD's Got Talent.

-CCSD's Got Talent!

-Bravo!

Big congratulations to all of the finalists and the winner.
