About Us

 

The SPFMBA is a very pro-active organization that relies heavily on voluntary parental support to accomplish its objectives. It was named Volunteer Organization of the Year for 2007 by the Scotch Plains Mayor's Gala Committee! 

According to the Constitution of the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Music Boosters Association, "The objective of the organization shall be to encourage, assist, and further the interests of the music programs in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood School District." It further states, "Anyone interested in promoting the stated purpose of the organization shall be eligible for membership."

We support all music groups in the SPF school district ranging from Kindergarten through 12th grade. At the High School, we support all music group offerings.

Meetings

General Music Booster meetings are held every other month. The purpose of these meetings is to keep the parents of the students in the music program informed as to what is happening, as well as the Music Boosters' role in making it happen. It is important that you as a parent, attend these meetings and become aware, contribute your expertise, be actively involved, and help maintain the outstanding music program we now have. Meeting dates for 2007-2008 are as follows:
