This is the 11th consecutive year the Ossining School District has been named a Best Community for Music Education. (National Association of Music Merchants)
For the 11th consecutive year, the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation has recognized the Ossining School District as a Best Community for Music Education.
Ossining is one of 754 school districts in 42 states that the organization commended for their support of music education as part of a well-rounded education for all children, and for the outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders.
Providing music education has been even more challenging with school buildings closed or open on a more limited basis and with more safety precautions necessary due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A rural school district in Dutchess County is getting ready to construct a health center at its school. The center was supposed to be up and running by now but the COVID-19 pandemic slowed the process.
Charles Davis has been a school nurse at the Webutuck Central School District in Amenia since January 2017. He says the idea for a school-based health center grew, in part, from inspiration from another nurse and the school she founded, where he earned his nurse practitioner degree Frontier Nursing University.
“It was founded by a woman, a very famous nurse and her name is Mary Breckinridge, and she brought rural healthcare to the mountains of eastern Kentucky during the early 1920s when childbirth, when many women died in childbirth and, as a result, may newborns died as a result, Davis says. So what she did was bring healthcare, both midwifery as well as family care, to, again, the very remoted regions of Kentucky.”
