Honor a Teacher Donations
Looking for a year-end teacher gift?
Honor your child’s teacher with a donation to FMA!
If music, art or drama experiences were especially meaningful to your child this year, you can recognize and thank their teachers by making a donation to Friends of Music & the Arts in that teacher's name. Also a great way to honor a retiring teacher!
Funds received by FMA go back to the schools in the form of grants given each year to all 7 Scarsdale schools for arts items not covered in the regular budget.
Questions? Contact FMA Co-President Jeannine Palermo at jeannine.palermo.22@gmail.com.
- Make your donation via our website, www.scarsdalearts.org, or by using the form below.
