In June, the Scarsdale Board of Education accepted $5,310 from FMA that represented gifts to each school in the district, dedicated to the purchase of equipment and supplies as requested by the arts faculty at each school, coordinated with the principals.
These gifts included:
- SHS: a video monitor with wall mount for displaying student artwork; shelving and other organizational supplies for the drama department's prop room; and a special clip for use by the music department during outdoor performances.
- SMS: a new viola outfit, new bows and other strings supplies for the orchestra; an iPad to aid the art department in doing image research.
- Edgewood: a heavy-duty paper cutter for the art room.
- Fox Meadow: a digital camera and accessories for documenting student artwork.
- Greenacres: a workstation for the art room; a bell kit and sheet music for the music department.
- Heathcote: two portable lightboxes for the art room.
- Quaker Ridge: artists' manikins for the art room; bow grips and percussion instruments for the music department.
