Friends of Fine Arts at Suttons Bay Schools (FOFA) was formed way back in 2000 by a small group of parents, teachers and community members to promote the fine arts in our school!
Encourage, recognize and support student achievement in the fine arts
Support existing visual arts, band, choir and drama programs in any way possible, such as providing publicity for events, and raising money for instruments and art supplies
Provide extra materials and educational opportunities not otherwise included in the school budget
Encourage and develop a close relationship between students, educators, parents and the community regarding the fine arts
FOFA presently underwrites the following fine arts opportunities with help from the Suttons Bay Art Festival:
Special In-School musical or theatrical groups, pit orchestra reimbursement, trips to Dennos Museum and Legacy Art Park, scholarships, Senior Merit Awards, instrument repairs among other things!
Band Student Mentoring brings in experienced local instrumentalists to inspire and enhance students' learning.
FOFA meets usually the last Wednesday of each month at 3:00 pm in Suttons Bay High School Art Room. We’re looking for new members and you are most welcome to attend! It’s not a huge time commitment!
