MAGGIE BROOME SCHOLARSHIP

On July 3, 2005 a student of Miss Leslie's was tragically taken from us in a car accident. A scholarship in her memory will be given to a student who exemplifies all the same hard work and determination and love of dance as Maggie before she was taken to heaven. Maggie's memory will forever live on in our hearts, in our home, in the studio, and in our prayers.
2025 Recipient: Sarah Houseknecht
