Hicksville High School Orchestra Lifts Students And Staff Spirits
State widens eligibility
T
he Hicksville High School orchestra brightened the morning for students and staff by playing music as they entered the building, prior to spring break. The orchestra set up in the halls of the high school and played their instruments while wearing masks and keeping their distance. The orchestra’s music lifted the spirits of students during arrival, starting off the day on a positive note. This was one of many ways Hicksville Public Schools celebrated Music In Our Schools Month throughout March. Music In Our Schools Month celebrates the impact of music education on the lives of students, as well as its social-emotional benefits. See the rest of the story on page 22.
