Please take a look at the information below about our annual Bill Martin Jr Memorial Symposium, and consider sharing your expertise with the general education teachers. Bill Martin Jr was a huge advocate for integrating the arts with E/LA, math, science, and social studies. Music specialists have so much to contribute in this area!<BR>
