The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation has recognized the Edmonds School District as one of the best school districts in the U.S. for music education.
This is the 14th time the district has been recognized in the 23-year history of the award. The Edmonds School District is one of only seven districts in the state of Washington to be recognized in 2022.
Founded in 2006, the NAMM Foundation represents the generosity and philanthropy of the music products industry. A supporting organization of NAMM,the foundation is funded through trade association activities and donations.
Congrats!
Congratulations, Edmonds School District! I am so grateful for this excellent program and the lifetime gift of music that it has provided to several generations of musicians and music lovers. Additionally, our Cascade Symphony was born out of this program, founded in 1962 by music director Bob Anderson and populated in part by many of the district music teachers. Another example of how fortunate we are to live here.
With so many arts and music programs being reduced or eliminated in schools over the years this is great news! Congratulations Edmonds School District.
BRAVO!!
