This is the second reminder and call to action regarding the Friends of Fine Arts Membership Drive. Our membership drive began two weeks ago with a goal of at least 100 new contributing members. We have now approaching 40, but we have a very long way to go!
The Friends of Fine Arts are a volunteer organization of parents, educators and community members supporting and promoting the Fine Arts at Downers Grove South High School. If you have a student in the Arts, you are automatically a member. However it would be incredible for you to become a contributing member. Your membership and contributions go a long way in ensuring that every students has access to quality experiences in the Arts. Through gifts and service, DGS FOFA is dedicated to:
Providing private lesson scholarships as well as music and art summer grants to every student we can, to increase access for all.
Enlightening classroom experiences through guest clinicians, artists, entrepreneurs, and conductors.
Purchasing equipment for Fine Arts instruction that extends beyond the district’s financial obligation.
Supporting Fine Arts events with publicity, volunteers, and hospitality.
Advocating and communicating Fine Arts activities and student achievement in the Arts to the broader artistic community.
