About the Gilbert Fine Arts Booster Club
We are a group of Gilbert area parents and patrons who volunteer our time and resources to enhance the fine arts programs offered by the Gilbert school system. We do this in many ways, including the following:
- Communicate with fine arts teachers and staff to determine their needs and how we can best help to meet those needs.
- Help represent fine arts priorities to Gilbert school administrators and the board.
- Organize volunteers as needed to support fine arts activities. Recent examples include arranging treats for plays/musicals and coordinating volunteers for music contests.
- Solicit, receive, manage, and disburse funds to support the fine arts programs. Some examples from recent years include:
- new band uniforms and choir robes
- grand piano in High School auditorium
- money for the middle school Adventureland trip and elementary theater field trips
- scholarships for graduating seniors and music camp participants
- new band and choral music
- contest judge and accompanist support
- new instruments
- middle school music awards
- art supplies and equipment
- meals and snacks for students at arts activities
- new band uniforms and choir robes
