                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GUY RESCHENTHALER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 17, 2023

  Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Mount Pleasant 
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 Mount Pleasant 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 Mount Pleasant 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 Mount Pleasant Area School 
District on this momentous occasion.
