Hilltop & West Choirs Spread Joy with Community Performances
The choirs from Hilltop Elementary and Argyle West joined collective voices today to bring some beautiful performances to the community.

The performance was a wonderful surprise, providing an infectious energy to everyone that listened. Other stops for them included several local assisted living facilities where they shared their beautiful voices with the residents.
