Happy March!! Music in our Schools Month has been celebrated every March for more than 30 years. It is a time when music education becomes the focus of schools across the country. During Music in our Schools Month, we raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children, and remind citizens that school is a place in which all children should have access to music.
Batavia Middle School students make music year-round--they sing, play instruments, compose and arrange music, respond to music, and utilize music technology in the classroom, at school concerts, and at performances in the community! Music ๐ถ ๐๐ค #MIOSM2022 #bmsmusicmakers #BMSProud
