1. Landon Freeman, who sometimes goes by the stage name "Pixellay," is a rising senior at Mountain Brook High School. With a passion for computer science and music, many of the tracks he's produced are already starting to get recognition at only 17-years-old. His work was featured on an episode of the Apple TV+ show Ted Lasso, as well as twice on Birmingham Mountain Radio. (Village Living)
2. Wednesday we reported that Christopher Alexander would represent Alabama at the Special Olympics USA in Orlando this summer.

3. Virginia Bugg, a resident of Homewood, was given the 2022 Library Champion Award by the Jefferson County Public Library Association. The decade-long volunteer said at an award ceremony, "I have always thought of libraries as holy places because the freedom of expression through good books is a holy thing to me, and public libraries help preserve that freedom."
