Come Join Us!
We are a group of volunteer parents whose children participate in the variety of performing arts in the Wakefield Public Schools. Through the Wakefield Music Boosters we support the Performing Arts Departments at ALL grade levels through financial and hands-on activities.
The Wakefield Music Boosters…
1) Hold a variety of fundraisers throughout the year including but not limited to our Fall Fundraiser mailing, the MICCA Marching Band Festival, Motorcycle Run, TV Raffle, Visual & Performing Arts Day, Talent Night, and town-wide yard sale. This year, we're excited to be sponsoring our very first Polar Express ride on Sunday, December 12th, 2010.
2) Help provide chaperones for all music events and football games
3) Have a budget that supports:
a. The elementary, Galvin and High School music departments to use for their respective music programs
b. The drama clubs at the Galvin and High Schools
c. Scholarships awarded to graduating seniors applying to college programs as a performing arts major
d. Families through financial support to defray the cost of the after-school private lesson program
e. Competition events for all performing arts groups
f. Buses to transport students from ALL the elementary schools in Wakefield to attend Performing Arts Day at the Galvin Middle School in the Spring
You are always welcome to join us!
Meetings are held the first Thursday of the month at the WHS chorale room at 7:00 pm
Hear firsthand the student events throughout the year and participate in the discussion and plans for their activities. Know that you are volunteering in something worthwhile for the future of all of our children.
