Testimonials

  We had such an amazing trip to Nature's Classroom - beautiful weather, happy and engaged students, amazing instructors, and so many smiles!

We are so grateful for your support of this trip. 

It was an unforgettable experience for so many of our students.

~ Erin O'Keefe, Parent Post Road School

Both comments regarding the Post Road 5th grade's overnight to Nature's Classroom in May 2025, funded in part by a grant from the Friends of White Plains Public Schools

Wow! Thank you so much for your support. This has made such a difference in our students' lives over the last couple of years. We really appreciate it!
William Tonissen, Music Teacher, White Plains High School

referring to the trips to Symphonic Band and Orchestra performance competitions the Friends have supported the last three years.

  Having a grant from Friends of WPPS for two years in a row meant that I was able to provide my students with a unique experience without 

worrying about where the money would come from. 

Both years, students have been enthralled with the experience of getting to meet unique animals right here in the classroom. To be able to provide a learning opportunity that goes beyond the books and notebooks 

will be a fond memory for both them and myself! 

~ Robin Stieglitz, Teacher, Post Road School

  Thank you for the recent grant to the WPHS SAIL program.  You supported $900 for tickets to the musical Hairspray and gave my class lifelong memories!  They were spellbound by the show and Dr. Chetcuti and I are so grateful for your support. 

~ Christopher Nolan, Teacher, White Plains High School

Please accept my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the amazing support the Friends continue to provide to our children and the WPCSD community. . . . the support from the Friends is truly outstanding and 

it is very special and unique.

This grant enables us to provide a dance experience for students across all of our elementary schools – the program is something students, staff, and parents look forward to each year.  It is a highlight of the year in each building and would not be possible without your support.  Thank you!

~ Gary West, Director of Fine Arts, K-12

Thank you for approving our grant application! We are so very much appreciative of your kindness and generosity.  This interdisciplinary enrichment unit and activity will benefit our students tremendously and afford them an opportunity that may not have been possible without your assistance.
