ISW and Spirit of Shrewsbury hosted their 10th annual Talent Show on September 28th at Saint John's High School. People of all different ages competed for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies. First for the Tiny Tots (8 and younger), our winner was Stuti Ghosh, who preformed an original Shiva dance. In 2nd place we had Shrinika Chetla and in 3rd was Ishani Argawala. All of our tiny tots put their all in the performances and they should all be proud of themselves. In the Young Icons category (9-12 years), Reyansh Parashar won 1st place, with Riyansika Rao in 2nd and Lakhith Chetla in 3rd. The three places were determined by only a couple points and the Young Icons made it very difficult for the judges to choose a winner. Next up, we had Terrific Teens (13-19 years). Although we only had three participants, all of them were extremely talented and engaged the crowd. In first place was Guoyn Lin with his piece on the piano. In second was Saina Mujumdar, and in third was Arush Jagan. And finally we had our Awesome Adults (20+). In first place was Ria Dey, who sang a piece by Asha Bhosle. In 2nd was Sowjanya Sake, and in 3rd was Vidya Chandrasekharan. Every single participant was incredibly talented and should absolutely consider returning to the Spirit of Shrewsbury talent show next year and participate in other ISW events. 

ISW volunteers, Arush and Prisha, created handmade presents for the judges. They went around to local business and collected crayons, then soaked and melted them into the letters ISW. Proud of them for thinking outside the box and being sustainable in the process!
