The Alle-Kiski Valley is alive with the sound of music.
Five Valley school districts have been recognized by a national organization for their commitment to music education.
Burrell, Kiski Area, Fox Chapel Area, Freeport Area and Plum Borough were among 686 school districts named best communities in the nation for music education by the NAMM Foundation.
The NAMM Foundation recognized the schools for their outstanding commitment to music education. Now in its 22nd year, the designation is awarded to districts that show outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students, according to a news release.
An additional 80 schools, including Propel Schools-East in Turtle Creek, received the Support Music Merit Award, which goes to qualifying charter, private and parochial schools.
