New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy took time during his March 8 media briefing to point out that March is Arts in Our Schools Month, describing the arts as “one of the myriad ways we know our young people are coping and dealing with the stresses they are facing.”
“One of my greatest prides is that under our administration, New Jersey was the first state in our nation’s history to achieve universal arts education across our entire public school system,” Murphy added. “We’ve never needed the arts more than right now, and our hats are off to everyone who is inspiring our kids to create, to perform and to persevere.”
