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.

Congratulations to these students on their successful Northwest Music Festival auditions!
Northwest Music Festival is a gathering at Minot State University of some of the finest junior high and high school musicians from all over the state. These students worked hard to practice their audition piece to earn a spot at the festival. They will undergo two days of music-making along with the other participants and culminate a concert on November 8, 2025
Last Saturday, selected music students went to Minot North High School for "Surround the state in Song" a music festival that happened simultaneously across the state.
Our students had the amazing opportunity to sing their hearts out along with other chosen kids from different schools. They spent the entire day refining the songs that they practiced and end it with an awesome concert in the afternoon.
It was truly a fun and unforgettable experience for the kids, Congratulations!
