To qualify for the Best Communities designation, OACSD answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, and support for the music programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor the third year in a row, the hard work, dedication and immense talent of our students and music department staff is being recognized.&nbsp;The Best Communities for Music Education award highlights our district-wide approach to music education and the support that the entire Owego Apalachin community provides our students and programs.&nbsp;I am proud of the musical offerings our district provides; the work that our teachers, administrators and Board of Education members do in creating high quality programs, and I\u2019m constantly amazed by the talent of all of our students,\u201d&nbsp;said Corey Green, OACSD superintendent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"821\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/04\/School_Best-1024x821.jpg\" alt=\"Owego Apalachin Central School District\u2019s Music Education Program receives national recognition for third consecutive year\" class=\"wp-image-78754\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/04\/School_Best-1024x821.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/04\/School_Best-300x241.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/04\/School_Best-768x616.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/04\/School_Best.jpg 1496w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is an award for all of us in the Owego Apalachin Central School District Community.&nbsp;It\u2019s for every grade level, department, alumni and community member. You have created a place for us all to come together.&nbsp;You have created a community where every voice is valued and the result is beautiful music. Our congratulations go to the other school districts receiving this award, and to all the communities dedicated to changing lives through music,\u201d said&nbsp;Lindsey Williams, OACSD teacher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have all been thinking a lot about the word &#8220;community&#8221; recently. It is defined as a group of people sharing a common purpose with a sense of belonging.&nbsp;I cannot think of a more fitting word to describe the OA Music Department. This award is an honor because it is a testament to the community of support we have for the OA music department. We are a Best Community of Music Education because we are a family,\u201d stated Megan Burrell, OACSD teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the NAMM Foundation, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nammfoundation.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"www.nammfoundation.org (opens in a new tab)\">www.nammfoundation.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owego Apalachin Central School District (OACSD) has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":78755,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
