RECOGNIZING 2023 BEST COMMUNITY FOR MUSIC EDUCATION RECIPIENT SOMERSET 
                          AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GUY RESCHENTHALER

                            of p0ennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 17, 2023

  Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Somerset Area 
School District for being recognized by the National Association of 
Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation as one of the best communities for 
music education in 2023.
  The NAMM Foundation celebrates schools and school districts by 
recognizing their ability to train and educate the next generation of 
musicians. 830 school districts, including Somerset Area School 
District, were recognized for the outstanding efforts of their 
teachers, administrators, parents, and students.
  According to NAMM, over 3 million children did not have access to 
proper music education in 2019. Every student deserves a chance to 
learn and develop their artistic capabilities, and Somerset Area School 
District's continuous efforts undoubtedly help our children in 
Southwest Pennsylvania.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Pennsylvania's 14th 
Congressional District, I congratulate Somerset Area School District on 
this momentous occasion.
