BATV will cover various home games this fall season for presentation on their station (channel 3 on Comcast and RCN).  

There are many opportunities for parents to be involved:

    • We need parents for each sport to act as point of contact for communications.
    • We need parents to form a committee to organize and evaluate banners in the gyms.
    • We need students and parents to act as team photographers/videographers to provide photos and clips to post on the athletics website and Facebook.
    • We need students and parents to act as broadcasters to do color/play-by-play for filmed events.
    • We need parents to help rehab the trophy cases in front of Schluntz gym.

If you are interested in volunteering, let us know.  Even if you only have an hour to donate, we could use your help!

In the meantime, please contact either Helen Zak at helen.zak@gmail.com or Jacque Francona at jacfrancona@aol.com with any suggestions or ideas for the coming year.

Friends of Performing Arts (FoPA)Friends of Performing Arts (FoPA) is a volunteer parent group dedicated to supporting BHS’s rich array of performing arts activities. Our goal is to ensure that dance, drama, music and stagecraft remain a vital component of our children’s education.

 

The committee meets only four times a year, and activities range from ushering and selling tickets/refreshments at performances to building awareness of BHS’ arts offerings and advocating for sustained public funding for the arts in Brookline. Our first meeting for 2010-11 is planned for October 25th at 7:00 p.m. in the BHS staff lounge next to the MLK Room.

 

Please join us in keeping BHS a community that supports the vibrant spirit of creative expression through the performing arts. For more information or to volunteer to be a part of this lively group, contact Karen Campbell at 617.739.0873 or karen_campbell@brookline.k12.ma.us.
