  Mr. MAST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Palm Beach County 
schools for promoting music educational excellence in Florida. Palm 
Beach County received a 2019 Best Communities for Music Education Award 
from the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM).
  This award celebrates school districts for their commitment to music 
education and efforts to promote music for all students as part of a 
well-rounded education.
  In achieving this national award, Palm Beach County teachers and 
faculty have demonstrated an exceptionally high commitment to enriching 
students' lives through music.
  Madam Speaker, I hope these music programs will continue to expand 
and give even more students the opportunity to thrive in our community.
