| The After School activities program at the Elementary School is for the purpose of offering students ways to develop specific concepts, skills, knowledge, attitudes and actions necessary to maintain a health and fitness level to function effectively in today's society.
Our program, as reflective of the school Mission, is to empower our students to pursue their passion for learning, lead lives of integrity and create socially responsible solutions. The After School activities program offers opportunities for growth in personal, social and physical education.
Our goal is not only teaching sports/activities rules but to teach and model the skills needed for successful living in our society; help young people become better humans and feel good about themselves. Students will continue to develop as they apply what they have learned about the PYP Learner Profile and PYP Attitudes.
The unique contributions such activities provide for personal
development have a positive effect on students. We believe that students
who take part in this program gain experiences and achieve successes
that complement other areas of learning.
Children have specific needs that can be satisfied by participating
in a well-structured program. Among the most important
needs to be fulfilled are:
FUN- Represents the main reason children participate in sports & activities. They want to enjoy themselves, improve skills, stay in shape and be with their peers.
AFFILIATION - Children want to be part of a group.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT- they enjoy being with peers and want
to be socially accepted.
SUCCESS- Children enjoy success and like being recognized
for their accomplishments.

SPORTS IS FOR LIFE!!
