Lexi Labott

Shout out to Lexi Labott! Lexi has always been a strong, intelligent, and beautiful young lady. Her hard work and dedication is recognized by membership in several honor societies. She is passionate about her color guard and winter guard teams, often thinking about new routines to learn and help teach. Her own rifle skills showcased a 7 rotation toss! She also enjoyed softball, especially when she was pitching. Her kind heart became fuller each week as she tutored her Homework Helper buddy and watched him grow. She participated in several other clubs that rounded out the amazing person she has become. And all of this as she dealt with new roommates this year!  We are so proud of Lexi and excited for the new adventures and accomplishments that are headed her way. After some extra puppy time in Nashville, she will be headed to Virginia Tech in the fall! 

A note to Lexi: We hope your dreams take you to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known.

We love you, Dad, Mom, and Brodie
