Exciting Spring Outdoor Afterschool News! Please see information below on the two outdoor Afterschool options offered by Togetherhood and Kids in the Game, in partnership with the PA. Thank you to our Afterschool Committee for all their hard work putting together these options for our PS 87 families.
Togetherhood is providing PS 87 families with distinct after-school programming (Monday-Friday) taught by local independent enrichment providers. Classes fall under four categories: Art, Performing Arts, STEM, and Outdoor Exploration.
Children are picked up by Togetherhood staff at dismissal at 2:30 p.m. at PS 87, and parents will pick up in the PS 87 Big Yard at 4:30 p.m. Classes are held outdoors in both Central Park and Riverside Park. Cost: $40 a day.
The PS 87 course lineup includes: Harry Potter, a dance class entitled “Nature in Motion,” musical theater/Broadway showtunes, art, and more!

Kids in the Game will offer outdoor Afterschool activities and games for 30 students per day in the PS 87 big yard.

Starting April 26, outdoor Afterschool will run on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 2:30-4:30 pm. Students will be picked up at school dismissal at 2:30 by Kids in the Game coaches. Cost: $25 a day.
Kids in the Game has been providing in-person programs since June 2020 thanks to the development of their Physically Distanced Games Resource guide. This guide allows for fun, impactful play while following health and safety guidelines for COVID-19.
