Assembly Resolution No. 1026

BY: M. of A. DeStefano

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 March 2026 as Music in Our Schools Month

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body, in keeping with
its time-honored traditions, to recognize and pay tribute to those who
seek to preserve and celebrate the musical education and heritage of our
State and Nation; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026 as Music in Our
Schools Month, in conjunction with the observance of National Music in
Our Schools Month; and

 WHEREAS, Music In Our Schools Month (MIOSM) is the National
Association for Music Education's Annual Celebration during March which
engages music educators, students, and communities from around the
country in promoting the benefits of high quality music education
programs in schools; and

 WHEREAS, This national month of music will be celebrating its 53rd
Annual Music in Our Schools Month; and

 WHEREAS, Music in Our Schools Month began in 1973 as a single
statewide Advocacy Day and celebration in New York, and has since grown
to become a month-long celebration of school music; and

 WHEREAS, Each year during this month, students from across the
country perform various concerts in state legislatures, concert halls
and schools to showcase the musical talent of America's youth; and

 WHEREAS, Music has been a part of human history since mankind
discovered its love for this beautiful and cherished art form; it is
events such as Music in Our Schools Month that allow music to continue
to progress and evolve; and

 WHEREAS, Furthermore, the support of music education in our nation's
schools is of utmost importance in continuing the development of musical
talent in New York and the United States; and

 WHEREAS, Events which provide a means of preserving a part of
America's rich past and which contribute to the musical education of our
great State and Nation, are held in the highest regard by this
Legislative Body; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026 as Music in Our
Schools Month, in conjunction with the observance of National Music in
Our Schools Month; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
