Congratulations to Brixleigh Pitman our Elementary Choir Student of the Month!
Brixleigh is a vibrant and passionate 5th grader whose love for singing shines through in everything she does. From her earliest years in elementary school, she has never missed a chance to sing her heart out—whether it’s during recess, on the school bus, or at home. Her dedication to her craft is truly admirable, and it shows every time she performs, both as a soloist and with her choir.
