Gehlen Catholic Fine Arts Boosters
- The Gehlen Catholic Fine Arts Boosters (FAB) is comprised of parents and fine arts moderators dedicated to the advancement of the arts, which includes art, band, choir, drama, and speech. All parents whose children are in Gehlen Catholic’s preschool – 9^th grade and whose 10^th-12^th grade students are involved in the above arts departments are automatically “Booster members.”
  
  Every year, those families whose child(ren) are enrolled in grades 5-9 & those families whose child(ren) in grades 10-12 who are involved in art, band, choir, drama, and/or speech may be asked to work in the concession stand, plus help with the Fine Arts Turkey Dinner.
  
  Students in fine arts programs are expected to work functions as scheduled with parents and to participate in any special fundraisers per the departments they choose to participate in. The proceeds from the Fine Arts Boosters offset the costs of the fine arts which are not funded by the school, and may include but are not limited to transportation, registration fees, supplies, capital expenditures, equipment, lodging, uniforms, and more.
