CARTERSVILLE, GA -- On March 5, the young stars of Bartow County filled Cass High School Performing Arts Center with their spin on entertainment and talent as part of the 23rd Every Child's a Star fundraiser.

The event, which benefits Cartersville-based Advocates for Children, allows performers to share their talents in a bid to help the young clients of the programs and services of the organization.

The performers did not disappoint, and provided a wonderful night of talent from singing duets to piano, theatrical, dance, solos, instrumentals and more.

The panel of judges had a tough job selecting the winners, as every person who walked out on the stage is a winner for the giving of their time and talents to benefit others.

Those selected as category winners for this year’s Every Child’s a Star include:

• Elementary Vocal: Raius Mitchell
• Elementary Drama: Brianna & Brent Lee
• Elementary Dance: Claire Hamm & Gracie Brown
• Elementary Overall: Raius Mitchell
• Middle School Vocal: Jessica & Kayla Briggs
