Announcement: Disney Pin Trading

The FOA has run pin trading events for the last few years.  Due to declining interest in the community, we've decided to cancel the remaining sessions for the balance of the school year.

As in the past, if you'd like to order pins or have questions please contact us at mountsinaiafoa@gmail.com.

Welcome Back, Mount Sinai!  It's going to be a great school year, and we at the FOA are more excited than ever to help our students achieve their scholastic and artistic endeavors!  We have some great fundraisers coming up, including the perennial Coffee Cake fundraiser, Disney Pin Trading Parties, and the return of the Gala Art Auction, scheduled for May 8, 2015 at Willow Creek Golf and Country Club! 

Updated membership and volunteer forms are available in the "Links/Forms" list to the right.  Please consider donating, whether monetary or your valuable time.  Your children will thank you for supporting their music, theatre, and arts programs!

DISNEY PIN TRADING!

We will be having what we hope to be our biggest pin trading party of the year on April 4th in the high school cafeteria from 5:30 until the variety show starts and also at intermission.  Come stock up on pins before your Spring Break vacation!  We will be having an Animation Academy style drawing competition.  Will you draw the best Mickey Mouse for your age group (including an Adults category)?  Winners get a limited edition pin!

Holidays already???

We know, we can't believe it's that time of year, either!  But the craft fair is right around the corner, and you know what that means - time to start planning for the holidays!  The FOA will have a booth at the craft fair and will be selling grab bags of Disney Pins.  Prices are 2 pins for $5 or 10 pins for $20 (that's like 2 free!)  We have a fantastic variety of standard and hidden mickey pins, and you might even get lucky and get a limited edition or cast lanyard pin.  Plan ahead for the holidays or your next WDW vacation!  See you on November 23rd!

Also coming up is the Friends of the Arts Annual Holiday Boutique on Tuesday through Thursday, December 3rd - 5th.  Elementary students will be schedule to attend the boutique with their classmates.  Middle School students can shop on their lunch hour.  Christmas and Chanukah gifts are available for siblings, parents, grandparents and pets.  If you are sending a check with your child, please ensure it is made payable to Mount Sinai Friends of the Arts.

As always, funds raised from these events will help to enhance the art, music, and theater programs in Mount Sinai!

^{Thank you in advance for your support!}
