On April 24th we celebrated our 25th anniversary, and honored Michele Schoenfeld for her four decades of service - as the Clerk of the White Plains Board of Education and as a volunteer leader. More than 110 supporters and civic and community leaders attended, and the event raised more than $25,000 for academic and cultural enrichment programs in the White Plains Public Schools! For more information, and to see pictures from the event, please click here.
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.
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.
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.
