To ring in the new school year, we welcomed the opportunity to "introduce" our new batch of commemorative bricks to the donors and honorees who were able to "meet" them. As the school year now moves forward, we are focusing our energies on finding the best ways for us to help the students in White Plains public schools.
Through special events, dinners, auctions, sale of commemorative bricks and fund-raising appeals, the Friends have raised and donated more than $440,000 to the White Plains Public Schools.About UsRead about our mission, and meet the White Plains residents on our Board.We welcome your help! Whether you can offer time, money, or ideas, you can help us make an important contribution to the lives of White Plains Public School students.
Friends of White Plains Public Schools is dedicated to supporting our students by
(1) Funding academic and cultural enrichment programs not included in the District's budget, and
(2) Encouraging greater involvement in and support for the schools by parents, the community, and alumni.
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.
