Category: Holiday Camp

This morning (Thursday, June 25, 2020) PS 9 is hosting an information session for parents and caregivers of our new incoming students. As the PS 9 afterschool provider Arts and Athletics offers a wide range of afterschool activities during the school year, camps during holidays and vacations, and virtual meet-ups and video lessons when we can’t meet in person.

We are so exited to hold a demo class during the parent orientation. The class presented our early childhood specialists will include play and movement and music and will give children a sample of the virtual camp we will conduct over six weeks this summer.

The Arts and Athletics organization was founded to support our schools and make educational opportunities available to all our children. Students select from hundreds of enrichment classes and then discover that other children share their excitement and enthusiasm. Children are united by a love of learning regardless of background or skin tone. The events of the last month have shaken us and inspired us to do this work even more deliberately. While we wait for school to resume, we hope to promote greater dialogue through the resources listed below. It’s a work in progress.
