Catch Program- Student Health & Wellness
As a CATCH MVP school, we Move and stay active, Value healthy eating, and Practice healthy Habits. Our CATCH ( Coordinated Approach to Childhood Health) supports and encourages our students to create and develop healthy habits. In the month of April, we will be hosting 4 CATCH Challenges that encourage our students to make healthy choices such as drinking more water, being physically active, choosing nutritious snacks, and being kind to one another. Please be on the lookout in your child's Physical Education Classroom for updates. We would love to have the support and participation from our families. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me @ADiMarco6@schools.nyc.gov

UPDATE: March is Women's History Month
course of American history in a variety of fields.
The DOE believes that learning women’s history and creating a space to invite students into the long history of women’s activism and the fight for universal rights is central to the education of all students. All students should have an opportunity to see themselves in the history and civics lessons that they are taught. Therefore, we must strive to introduce the history of 51% of the world’s population as much as possible and with examples that allow students to see representation of their experiences and identities.
We’re pleased to share these resources developed by our Social Studies and Civics for All team.
The Women's History Month Resource Toolkit is a March calendar filled with links to biographies, events, and programming to celebrate this important month.
