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.
WE'RE THRILLED TO SEE OUR GRANTS BENEFITING THE STUDENTS IN WHITE PLAINS PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
Our first fundraiser of the year is a performance of In The Heights at the White Plains Performing Arts Center. We hope you will join us!
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!

About UsDuring 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.
