A program update from PS 191

"Our program is unique and one of a kind. Make sure you stop by with an open mind!", Roger Redhead, Site Director for the Oasis/Kids Creative after school partnership at PS 191.

Here's what Roger has to say about the year so far:
We kicked off the first year of the PS 191 Oasis/Kids Creative After School Program with a Boom! Boom-Chica-Boom that is.......
The program is composed of 10 Group Leaders, 9 Instructors and 100 of the most energetic, open-minded, and creative participants in the city.
We had our first but definitely not our last Community Service Project in the fall. "The Yes We Canned Food Drive" gave our participants the ownership of collecting food for our less fortunate and donating it to the nearby shelter. The second drive, which involves the entire school, is on its way to being an even greater success.
The participants have taken trips to Fordham University for a look at art work from around the world through the Others Are Us art exhibit. We also participated in theatrical workshops at the neighborhood Barnes and Noble.
Our Middle School students started their first semester of "Youth Internship". They are placed in the younger programs' groups and provide assistance to the Instructors and Group Leaders as well as provide homework assistance to their fellow participants. The second semester will include the implementation of workshops and projects that will better ready them for the working world.
On Fridays, we are engaged in friendly competition and games in the auditorium that promote independence, positivity, and fun.
Finally, we are finishing up our first semester of classes with performances from the Kids Creative classes that will showcase the participants' hard work.

Here are two of the shows you will see:
"The Super Hero Ninjas and the Rock Stars"
The superhero ninjas are rocking out to the rockstars, however, the dragons are trying to play planet tag and are distracted by the music so they crash the party and try to eat everybody! The superhero ninjas teleport to sushi planet and trick the dragon into eating sushi that turns them good so they can all enjoy the rockstars' music!

"The Search for the Super Saving Ingredients"
Once upon a time there was a farm, on the farm there was a sick cow. The superheros made her sick with the fumes from their super speed flying so they decide to help her by making their magic soup. They need to go to Rainbow planet, Vegetable Planet and Mars to find all the ingredients!
