Photos: OLPH School Talent Show

 marked this year's School Talent Show.

Though the 14th annual fundraising was successful, it marked another "last time" for the school, its staff, parents and students since the school will be its doors this June.

The proceeds once again went toward the Maria Pipergias Scholarship Fund, which which goes to one graduating boy and girl who will attend Saint John the Baptist High School, where Maria, a former OLPH School student, had planned to attend.

Maria passed away several years ago after suffering a severe asthma attack at an eighth-grade graduation party at a friend's house.

After she passed Maria’s mother received a kidney from her daughter. Eight other people also received organs.

The fund was set up after that, and Maria's mother's yearly contributions and the school's Talent Show have made up the fund.

However, despite the gravity of the story and the tears shed because this marked the last Talent Show at the school, parents were happy to see their children perform.

And the students happily sang, danced and played their instruments to entertain the crowd that packed the school's auditorium to standing-room-only capacity.

The children showed their love of the school and sung their school song as a group at the finale of the show.

Each grade performed, from the fearless first-graders to the eighth-graders who performed a Grease medley with dance and song.
