And welcome to a new school
year. We’re excited to see what 2015-16
brings, and are already looking forward to the musical and theatrical
performances and art shows ahead.
THANK YOU to all who supported FMA last year. Your memberships, gifts and purchases at our
December holiday boutique and spring Open Studio hosted by artist Miriam
Schulman enabled us to:
- Recognize the musical and artistic talents
of 91 high school students with FMA certificates,
awards and scholarships
- Provide refreshments at high school
concerts throughout the year;
- Honor the arts faculty throughout the
district with a luncheon at Wayside Cottage in May;
- Make gifts in support of the arts to each
school in the district, as requested by the arts faculty and approved by
the principal of each school. A
summary of these gifts is below.
PLEASE won’t you renew your support for the coming year, so that we can
continue to show our students and faculty that Scarsdale parents appreciate their
achievements in and contributions to the arts? It’s easy to join online through the links on
this website, or you can click HERE to print out a membership form and mail it
plus your check to FMA, P.O. Box 171H, Scarsdale, NY 10583.
And, IF YOU’D LIKE TO GET INVOLVED in our activities,
please contact me at kgrayclapp@aol.com. We’d love to have more parents join our team.
