| PS 138 What Is New |
What Is New P.S. 138 in partnership with The Lincoln Center Institute, has reviewed the opera "Cosi Cosa" an adaptation from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Teachers/actors from Lincoln Center came to five classes to provide instruction to develop students’ appreciation for the arts. P.S. 138 has a girl basketball team, Lady Hoops. Ms. Duncan, Mr. Brown, and Ms. Alexander coach the team. We now have a musical band directed by Mr. Lemon and a choir directed by Mr. K. Brown. During the academic school year 2000-2001, several classes took part a 12 week Leadership Program. The Leadership Program focused on building leadership qualities in students through interactive and critical thinking games. Students were encouraged to be creative while they collaborated in-groups. The program emphasized the need for teamwork and aimed at teaching students to respect themselves as well as their peers. |
