development is understood by the school districts that have achieved this award. It is a celebration of the 100 Best Music Education Programs in America that better the lives of their students. There are 21 states that have music programs that have received the award this year. These programs ensure that all children have access to a quality music education programs that encourage students to reach their own unique potential and encourage a lifelong participation in music making.
It is truly a wonderful acknowledgement of the hard work our music educators do
in our district K-12. It also shows the commitment in music education by Homewood City Schools Board of Education, Administration and the City of Homewood. This award brings national attention to our community and the State of Alabama. I hope that by receiving this recognition that it helps other districts become aware of the importance of music education throughout our state as part of every childs total educational experience. In times of budget cuts it is so important that the students in the State of Alabama still have the opportunity to experience a quality music education program.
