We are delighted to inform you that we are celebrating a partnership in the arts with Amas Musical Theatre. Twice a week, beginning the week of February 24th- April 10th, your child will participate in a Broadway Babies Residency with accomplished Teaching Artists Amelia Nickles (M.F.A. in Acting, Harvard University) and Abigail Galleta Canafe (B.A. in Music, University of California, Berkeley) to learn foundational musical theatre and drama performance skills in singing, acting, and dancing and rehearse group numbers from Broadway shows!
At the end of the learning series, we will be hosting a culminating event you will be invited to; where our children will showcase their new theater skills.
Below are some of the skills Broadway Babies will focus on with students:
Your child’s teacher will let you know which day the residency will be visiting their classroom. We encourage students to bring water bottles to school so that they stay hydrated while dancing and singing.
The culminating Grade 1 performance will take place on April 10th in our school auditorium. More details will be forthcoming.

Being physically fit and healthy is just as important as academic success!
Therefore, our Physical Education Program serves all students in PK through Grade 5. Our PE instructors follow the Fitnessgram Pacing Calendar along with the NYS scope and sequence.
Our Adaptive Physical Education Program utilizes TGMD3 assessments along with the monthly calendar activities in order to allow all students to access skills and strategies through multiple entry points.
Following the monthly guide, our APE instructor prepares our students to participate in culminating community events, such as Track and Field, Soccer, Bowling, Volleyball, Basketball, Dance, Carnival and Field Day Events.
All students in grades 3-5 participate in our annual Field Day.
Students are engaged throughout the day by rotating from station to station. It is a culmination of skills and strategies taught throughout the year. Students are assigned randomly to a team (Red or Blue), and collect points which are scored at the end of the day at which point a winning team is announced.
Students are encouraged to display good sportsmanship and teamwork.
All students in PK-2 participate in Carnival Day. Students rotate from station to station, engaging in activities that address the skills and strategies that have been taught throughout the year. Families are encouraged to participate in Field Day and Carnival Events.
