Friends of 187, a not-for-profit organization, raises money to fund creative, hands-on learning during the PS/IS 187 school day. Programs and teachers are funded for every student in every grade.
Family and community giving provide for vibrant instruction to supplement where the school budget falls short. Please donate – without you, we cannot maintain all the exciting school-day programming at PS/IS 187. Friends of 187 is entirely parent volunteer led, and always needs new volunteers to keep going strong. Contact us to discuss how you can get involved! |
