Chair-ish the moment

FHS Education Foundation holds gala for auditorium renovations

About 150 attended the 2nd Annual Farragut High School Education Foundation gala, Chair-Ish the Moment, in Fox Den Country Club Saturday, Jan. 10, to help raise money to support FHS Education Foundation.

“Usually every year, we kind of set out with some very

specific goals in addition to some of the general projects and student initiatives we

try to fund,” foundation president Toni Scott said. “This year’s project is called Chair-ish the Moment because we are trying to bolster our fund and be able to replace [the chairs] and renovate the auditorium.

“We have a lot of seating that is no longer fixable,” she said. “I believe they are antiques at this point.”

“It actually was a project that the school and, I believe, maybe some groups had started before COVID,” Scott said. “Then, with COVID and some other things, it didn’t reach completion so we’re hoping to be able to do that.”

She expects the foundation will need to raise for the

auditorium project about $50,000.

In 2019, students wanted to replace the seating in the auditorium, FHS principal Dr. John Bartlett said during his address after dinner.
