Thank you to the music educators and music education advocates whohave worked very hard to support music education throughout our regionduring the last several months! Among the most important on a long list of"things to do" has been to find ways to encourage and assist students no

matter what obstacles have been encountered. In true music teacherfashion, you have done amazing things under wildly unimaginable

circumstances. Thank you for continuing to be great role models forstudents to follow.
