Congratulatins Mr. Lauria! This is another example of the impact the Arts, especially music, can have on the students involved and the while school community. RIMEAorg Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) RISCA

Whether you want to prepare young people for life, the workforce, or standardised tests, you teach them music. You teach them music because music educates the whole self, and when you educate the whole self, young people are prepared for whatever may (or may not) come their way.

Congratulations to the future educators from the PHS Class of 2022! Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) Angelica Infante Ponaganset High School Renee Palazzo Amanda Grundel, M.Ed., M.S.

Educator wellness must be prioritizes in our schools. Working in crisis mode for over two years has had a negative impact on our health. Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) Bridget Valverde @alanadimario.bsky.social Julie Casimiro #NTOY22 bostonglobe.com/2022/06/14/met…

Some tunes as we start the RIMEAorg Spring All Member meeting! Island Time Steel Band is giving us all the (almost) summer vibes!

When it comes to The Arts, young people achieve and experience the most amazing things, when given the chance. They should all be given the chance.

Music ensembles help to empower young people, help them to feel included, and help them to feel valued. All very important things, fundamental to the provision of a successful and meaningful education. Every young person should have the opportunity to be in a music ensemble.

So uplifting hearing Secretary of Education Cardona speak to the NAfME National Assembly this morning in Reston, Virginia, along with hundreds of other music education leaders via Zoom from around the country. RIMEAorg Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE)
