On March 25, the East Meadow High School string ensemble, under the direction of Ms. Nicole Pellman, performed for the Nassau County Legislature.
For the second year, the East Meadow School District was thrilled to help represent the tens of thousands of music students in Nassau County by celebrating with these students for the county legislators. Throughout the U.S., March is recognized as Music in Our Schools Month. School music programs throughout the country celebrate this occasion through both professional advocacy, and the greatest advocates of all are the young musicians making music in public spaces and legislative buildings. In New York State, music groups perform twice a day at the NYS Legislative Building in Albany.
Music students are raising awareness of the importance of music education, which promotes healthy physical, mental and emotional development for students, as well a sense of belonging and cultural contribution to each of the communities that is truly unique.
