Ritchie Helps Shine Spotlight On Mexico School Choir

State Senator Patty Ritchie recently welcomed the Mexico Academy and Central School District High School Jazz Choir to the State Capitol.

Students performing were taking part in a celebration of “Music in Our Schools Month,” which helps to highlight the importance of the arts in education.  Last year, Senator Ritchie secured over $35,000 in special funding benefitting music and art programs in schools across Central and Northern New York, including programs in the Mexico Academy and Central School District.
