The Pearl Sample school community was treated to an incredible showcase of talent on Thursday, March 26, 2026 during the annual Pearl Sample Talent Show! A total of 25 students from 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades took the stage, each bringing their unique skills and confidence to the spotlight.
The evening began with a special introductory act that delighted the audience. First year principal Aly Hokanson took the stage alongside Mickey Birch, son of former principal Dan Birch. They were joined by Hokanson's daughter, Piper, and the act included a fun and unexpected surprise appearance that set an energetic tone for the night. (see video below)
The performances featured a wide variety of talents, including beautiful singing, impressive piano playing, and even exciting gymnastics routines that had the audience cheering. Each act highlighted the hard work, creativity, and courage of our students as they performed in front of their peers, staff, and families.
The Talent Show was not only entertaining, but also a wonderful celebration of student expression and school spirit. Pearl Sample is very proud of all of the performers for sharing their gifts and making the event such a memorable success!
