Congratulations Viji! It's quite a story - get the gig on Monday afternoon and up and performing on Friday. On top of that, she's also a fine young teacher!

These four! They're all starting new jobs in Williamson County this fall. From left to right, Austin Root '25, band teacher (and lead singer of the 'Shirt Tuckers') is starting at Legacy Middle School; Syd Braunstein '25 will be the choral director at Mill Creek Middle School; Dani Diano '25 will be the choral director at Sunset Middle School, and Owen Ladd '18 will be taking over the Ravenwood High School choral program. So excited to see what these four young educators are going to do in our community.

Congratulations to Nico Zavala who is starting a new choral program at Nashville's JT Moore Middle School this year. He's one of EIGHT students from this year's Blair-to-Peabody class who will be entering the teaching workforce this year, ive of whom are staying in Nashville. We'll feature each one of them soon, but today - consider helping to fill out Nico's Amazon classroom wish list!
