The Rhode Island House of Representatives has introduced a resolution to proclaim March 2025 as "Music in Our Schools Month." This initiative aligns with the National Association for Music Education's designation of March as a time to celebrate music education in schools. The resolution highlights the historical significance of music in human culture and its therapeutic benefits, emphasizing that participation in music programs can enhance student engagement and lead to improved social and academic outcomes, particularly for at-risk students.

The resolution asserts that music education fosters essential skills such as creativity, self-expression, problem-solving, and mathematical abilities, contributing to a well-rounded education for all students. In recognition of the importance of music education and the dedication of music educators in Rhode Island, the House of Representatives expresses its full support for teaching and learning music in public schools. The resolution also directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy to the Rhode Island Music Education Association.

Introduced by Representatives Noret, Shekarchi, Blazejewski, Chippendale, and Kennedy on March 11, the resolution has been read and passed in the House.
