Here, for a change, is some “normal” news.
The Webster Central School District music program has once again been honored as a Best Community for Music Education from The NAMM Foundation, for its outstanding commitment to music education. This is the 15th year the district has been recognized.
The Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students.
To qualify for the Best Communities designation, the district answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program, and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.
We’re so very fortunate to live in a district which recognizes the critical importance of music education for young people, and which employs the kind of excellent teachers needed to make that connection with our students.
