7 Music In Our Schools Month Donna Moore, State Chairperson

March was "Music in our Schools" Month! This year marked the fifteenth an· nual celebration of music in our nation's schools. " All Together Now," the theme for this years event, conveys the importance of music education as a unifying force throughout our country. America's rich musical heritage is a vital part of our schools and communities and it contributes to our nation's place as a world leader. While many musical activities and public relations efforts take place year-round, March is a time we set aside to make a special effort to communicate to the public the importance of music in the education of America's youth. The extra time and thought this requires pays off in increased awareness among parents, administrators and lawmakers. In New Mexico, classrooms, concert halls, civic buildings, clubs, parks, and shopping malls reverberated with rich musical sound, as students demonstrated the processes and results of music educa· tion. Among the activities taking place were: concerts, musicals. plays, special as· semblies, festivals, poster contests and "Kids for America, " Alameda Elementary, Albuquer­ essay contests. que, Jim McCarthy, Director More than three million school children, teachers and citizens from around the country were expected to perform simul­ taneously in "The McDonald's World's Largest Concert" on March 9. I hope to have figuresfor New Mexico's participation by our next issue. Also, for our next issue, I would like to feature YOUR SCHOOL and its particular way of celebrating MIOSM. Please send information (pictures, too!) to your district MIOSM chairman, or to me directly. My address is on the inside cover of this maga· zine. Reports of these activities should give us all new and exciting ideas for our next MIOSM celebration!
