Ballard Performing Arts Boosters Need Your Support!
The Ballard Performing Arts Booster Club exists to support the directors in many ways including:
informing parents and guardians of all Performing Arts activities, requirements, and events, promoting community attendance to events, recruiting volunteer helpers, developing fundraising options and maintaining a presence in social media.
Without the support and participation of our parents/guardians the Performing Arts at Ballard High School would not be the excellent program it is currently.
Looking to the 2016-17 school year, we have the following lead positions open listed below or download a PDF.
Join us on the Board for a fun and fulfilling experience. Tell us what you would like to do at ballardperformingarts@gmail.com
