What a wonderful concert tonight @LCPS_Mercer Thank you @MrsManningMusic & Ms Friend for all your hard work. 👏🎉 You are making a difference in the lives of so many students. #musiceducation

[Vaughan Fleischfresser @VFleischfresser]

Music Education has such a positive impact on the lives and learning of so many people, regardless of what they go on to do in life. We need to value Music Education, we need to fill our schools with music, and we need to give every young person the best possible chance to shine.

[Mrs. Manning @MrsManningMusic]

@Mrs_Friend_MMS this was such a fantastic experience for our students! Thanks for capturing this, MMS!

[Gum Spring Middle School @LCPS_Mercer]
