The Bellmore School District has once again been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from the NAMM Foundation for their outstanding support and commitment to music education, providing music access to all students.

In Bellmore Schools, music is deeply ingrained in students’ education, whether by picking up an instrument in their early years or collaborating with their peers to learn original songs that reflect the district’s Core Values and Leadership Principles. Bellmore students exemplify outstanding participation in chorus, band and orchestra and participate in innovative music programs, such as the use of string instruments in second grade and extracurricular opportunities like Ukelele Clubs. The Best Communities for Music Education award recognizes Star Leaders’ music class participation and instruction time and the district’s facilities and support for music programs.
