Asphalt Green
 Asphalt Green will be providing our school with our Physical Education Partnership (PEP) program. The program increases physical activity, promotes positive social behavior, and builds a foundation of sports-specific skills. PEP activities fall under two categories:

Age-appropriate games Throughout the year, AG will lead your children in fun, inclusive games that are easy to play both in and out of school. In addition to getting kids active, the games are also the perfect setting to teach kids how to share, cooperate, and resolve conflicts.

Sports-based skill-building activities Interjected into the core curriculum of games will be a series of 2 – 6 week blocks that will focus on building sports-specific skills. Students will engage in a variety of fun activities that will develop the movement, ball control, kicking and throwing skills associated with major sports such as soccer, baseball/softball, and basketball. 

**NYC Chess NYC Chess will provide in school chess lessons and strategy building to our students. **

//New York City Chess Inc. started as a vision to promote chess in NYC. Several players met consistently on 112th and Broadway to enjoy chess, conversation, and community. From there we began to organize and see an opportunity to bring people together through chess. We ran tournaments, offered lessons, and developed merchandise that represented our vision. Chess is a perfect combination of body, mind, and soul! People of all races, ages, genders, and social status can sit across the 64 squares and be perfect equals. This concept epitomizes life in New York City// //.//
