Millennium's OST program PS 236 - operates 5 days a week throughout the school year.

The OST (Out of School Time) program at P.S. 236 currently services 100 students within the school and community.  Our program welcomes students of diverse backgrounds and abilities.  Once our students enter the OST program they know that their afternoon will be fulfilled academically and physically.  With the support of the staff at P.S. 236, our participants are given the opportunity to enjoy their everyday classrooms and facilities for sports and recreation.  Within our program, participants are given a chance to grow and develop independently through problem solving, decision making, leadership, cooperative learning and independent work. Our goal is to allow our students to grow into mature, responsible and educated adults.  Our students are part of a professional, structured, educational, disciplined and safe environment. 

At P.S. 236, some of the activities we are currently partaking include but not limited to are: sign language, guitar, law, sports (basketball, football, and walking), step and our monthly newsletter, just to mention a few.   

Sign Language – Students learn sign language using visually transmitted sign patterns (manual communication, body language and lip patterns) to convey meaning – simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientation and movement of hands, arms or body to fluidly express a speaker’s thought. 

Guitar – Students learn to play the guitar as part of our musical enrichment by learning strings, chords and proper posture while playing.  The children are preparing to perform in our year end showcase where children show off their talents.

Law – Students are learning many aspects of the Law.  They are learning from the Constitution to the Bill of Rights and Civil and Criminal Law.  Students participate in Mock Trials where they will learn how the courts will resolve problems in civil cases and how a person who has been charged with a crime goes through the stages of a trial.

Sports – Individual and team sports are played. The team sports are to encourage team sportsmanship. Football, dodge ball, basket ball, soccer, tennis, steal the bacon, relay races are all activities played.  Our basketball team – The Millennium Warriors are hard at work preparing for their first Basketball game versus another OST program.

Step/Cheerleading – Students learn many routines working with their hands and feet in rhythm to cheer and step in a collaborative manner.  Our step team – The Lady Warriors are had at work preparing to support the Millennium Warriors to their first victory versus another OST program.

Monthly Newsletter – Students have enquiring minds.  They are hard at work during this activity and they take great pride in their skills.  The newspaper includes students’ writings, thoughts, drawings, word puzzles and achievements.  The purpose of the paper is to allow students to display and share their strengths with their peers in the program.
