School District

[[Page E1117]]

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 Hempfield 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 Hempfield 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 Hempfield Area School District 
on this momentous occasion.
