So can district staff.
Nine CCSD employees faced off recently in the grand finale of CCSD's Got Talent.
We had a chance to catch up with one of the competitors, a teacher's assistant at Hal Smith Elementary School, as she was preparing for the big night.
(Khelsea Smith) I tried out for CCSD's Got Talent because I want to showcase my talents.
I'm very shy.
I'm an introvert.
And I usually sing with my sister, so I felt like it was my turn to step out on my own and let the world hear my voice.
[singing] I've been singing since the age of six.
Grew up watching my mom, and ever since then I've been singing since with my sister.
Basically grew up in the church.
I don't sing anywhere, really, other than church.
I have a heart for kids.
It's just been a passion of mine since I graduated.
The best part about working with students is being able to give them love, caring for them.
(Lyric Roberson) The way she handles the students and their behaviors and comes to work every day just knowing that she has to deal with certain situations is awesome.
-There's a lot of talent inside of CCSD, and it's a great thing that they're able to be able to showcase their talent for the world.
Some people look for opportunities like this but never get the opportunity.
So I feel like this is a great opportunity for a lot of people.
-I didn't think she could portray such a beautiful voice.
Just knowing the fact that she can sing like that was amazing.
I was like, I can't wait to watch her in the finale.
[singing] -We are so excited to be here at the Hyper X Arena here at the Luxor Hotel and Casino for the Second Annual CCSD's Got Talent Competition, where our staff are showing off everything they've got right on an amazing stage for the community to see.
-Our vision is that we are the destination district, to make sure that every single employee is seen, heard, acknowledged, appreciated for their skill set.
-What I hope to get out of this competition is for people like me, introverts, be able to, like, get out there.
It's scary sometimes, but you can do it.
When I first started, I was like, no, I can't do it.
But now that I made it to the top 10, I feel like I could definitely do it.
-The CCSD's Got Talent grand champion is Khelsea Smith!
[cheers and applause] [singing] -Thank you so much for this opportunity.
To all the other contestants, congratulations.
You guys did amazing.
I appreciate you all.
-And we appreciate you.
What an incredible voice.
