BLS Friends of the Arts
The Friends of the Arts (FOA) is a parent group that exists to support and advocate for the music, visual art and drama programs of the Fine Arts Department at BLS. The Department directly engages at least half of the student population in its activities and enhances the climate and image of the entire school.
