In 2009 faced with no art program at Sunset Beach Elementary a group of parents joined together with a mission to bring art back to the classroom and Friends of Sunset Beach (FOSB) was born.

FOSB, now in its 9th year is a 100% volunteer based non-profit dedicated to funding the arts at Sunset Beach Elementary and in the North Shore community. Participation in the arts increases academic performance and allows our keiki to think creatively, observe, describe, interpret and problem solve. Art builds confidence and community. FOSB provides the funding for two seasoned art teachers, Lilly Barels (Grades K-3) and Steven Kean (Grades 4-6) and all needed supplies.

FOSB depends on money raised through their annual art auction fundraiser “Celebrating the Arts” to continue their mission. Every donation or ticket purchased goes directly back to the children of our community.

Please show your support by attending “Celebrating The Arts” on Saturday, March 3rd at Waimea Valley For more information or to buy tickets, please visit www.friendsofsunsetbeach.org.
