During the 2020-21 school year - a most unusual school year - we were happy to provide grants covering software that allowed band and music teachers across our district to present virtual concerts. We are proud to present some of those concerts here, showcasing both the talent and the resilience of many students within the White Plains Public Schools.
This Is My Wish (performed by the White Plains Citywide Elementary Chorus)
We Won't Stop Dreaming (for Highlands Moving Up Day Ceremony)
National Anthem (for WPHS Graduation Ceremony)
Seasons of Love (for WPHS Graduation Ceremony)
Don't Stop Me Now (for WPHS Graduation Ceremony)
LISTEN TO THE MUSIC!!!
During the 2021-22 academic year, we issued more than a dozen grants to enrich the experience of students in the White Plains public schools. One of our most recent grants funded new shirts for the 4th and 5th grade chorus at Ridgeway Elementary School. The students looked great in the shirts, and they sounded even better!
WE'RE THRILLED TO SEE OUR GRANTS BENEFITING THE STUDENTS IN WHITE PLAINS PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
