We are truly fortunate to have the support of FOLMADS for all that we do in our Performing Arts Department! FOLMADS makes an incredible impact on every student who is involved in our program. I have seen firsthand the wonderful and meaningful experiences that FOLMADS has provided for our students - from purchasing puppets for our Kindergarten students to use as they explore their singing voices to providing funds for LHS’s Playwriting and Directing Class trip to the Massachusetts Young Playwrights' Project, and everything in between. Their focus on empowering our teachers is unmatched, and we are so grateful for their incredible partnership!
