Members of the High School Tri-M Music Honor Society visited the Long
Island State Veterans Home in Stony Brook and the Little Flower School
in Wading River to spread cheer and perform music for the residents and
students.
The student-musicians had the opportunity to interact with the residents
at the Veterans Home and learn about their lives and service. At the
Little Flower School, all the students collaborated and learned how to
perform a song on handbells.
A program of the National Association for Music Education, which focuses
on creating future leaders in music education and music advocacy, Tri-M
is the only national honor society for student musicians in secondary
schools.
According to Ashley O’Connor, music teacher and chapter advisor, SWR
chapter’s goal is to inspire and recognize musical achievement in the
school music department.
