Brave Arts Events
Chair: Lauren Melton
Our fundraising efforts have sponsored artists-in-residence, purchased state-of-the-art technology for use in arts programs, and have supplemented district arts funding as funds have been reduced. No experience or artistic talent is necessary to join — just a value of arts education and willingness to volunteer. It’s never too late in the school year to become a Brave Arts Volunteer or Booster!
ArtFest is our annual celebration of the arts at Satchel Ford. This is a time when all students celebrate many different disciplines in the arts. Students participate in arts activities and observe performances from professional artists. This year's ArtFest is scheduled for November 20.
​
Every other year, Brave Arts holds an ornament-making fundraiser, where students make their own personalized ornaments. Please check back for updates.
​
Each year, as a special gift to our teachers, we provide a delicious, duty-free lunch on (or around) Valentine's Day. Students can donate toward teacher lunches, and parents are needed to volunteer to serve in the lunchroom. Check back for updates.
​
Our Sweetheart Dance is always a fun and popular event! This year's dance will be Friday, February 21. Please check back for updates.

Grade-Level Performances
