Music In Our Schools Week

Tri-M Honor Music Society Celebrates “Music In Our Schools Week”

March has been officially designated by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) for the observance of Music In Our Schools Month (MIOSM), the time of year when music education becomes the focus of schools across the nation. 

MIOSM began as a single statewide celebration in 1973, and has grown over the decades to encompass a day, then a week, and then in 1985 to become a month long celebration of school music. The purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children – and to remind citizens that schools is where all children should have access to music.  MIOSM is an opportunity for music teachers and students to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the community, and to display the benefits that school music brings to students of all ages.

Our newly charted chapter of Tri-M Honor Music Society sponsored a weeklong “Music In Our School Event” at Father Tolton Catholic High School that featured festive decorations, music trivia and a “Name that Tune” competition.  The organization intends to build upon the success of this year’s event in the years to follow.  Pictured above are just a few of the members of the organization.
