month-long national observance; and

  WHEREAS,  Nicholas  Massimo,  a  student  at  Syosset  High  School,
Syosset, New York, will be playing Tenor Sax 1; and

of his music; and

teachers, can be justifiably proud of his musical and other achievements
and his participation in Music in Our Schools Month; now, therefore,  be
it
