Mr. Chris has been Kayla’s Band Teacher since January 2024, and has shared his thoughts on teaching Kayla:

“The reason I chose Kayla for student of the month is because she is a very dedicated musician and a leader in the band. She is always at rehearsal on time, is always prepared, and is always willing to try something new and challenging.”
