Athletics & Fitness

Public Schools Athletic League
The mission of the Public Schools Athletic League is to provide opportunities for educating students in physical fitness, character development and socialization skills through an athletic program that fosters teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship.
C.H.A.M.P.S. Middle School Sports & Fitness
The goal of the C.H.A.M.P.S. Middle School Sports & Fitness program is to improve student fitness levels and overall health by increasing opportunities for children to engage in physical activity, regardless of athletic ability. The program promotes health-related fitness through a mix of several after-school and before-school activities including traditional sports, non-traditional sports, and fitness activities. The ultimate goal is for students to grow to be C.H.A.M.P.S. — Cooperative, Healthy, Active, Motivated, Positive Students — for life.

Health and Fitness Policy

We will continue to foster an environment that is health promoting and provides students with the knowledge and skills to create lifelong healthy habits. Children who eat well and are physically active are more likely to learn and become healthy, successful adults who contribute to our community.
Therefore, it is the policy of PS 50Q to:
·          create a health-promoting environment in our school

·          provide students access to nutritious food

·          provide opportunities for physical activity

·          provide developmentally appropriate physical education

·          provide accurate information related to these topics through a comprehensive health education program

Swim for Life NYC

As a new addition to our Health and Fitness Policy, we are proud to introduce the Swim for Life NYC program to PS 50Q this year.  Swim for Life is a unique pilot program that teaches second graders to swim through a standardized curriculum based on low student-to-instructor ratio for maximum individualized instruction, using a 10-session over 10 weeks model.  All second grade students will be invited to participate in the swimming program during the regular school day free of charge. Swim instructors will be provided by the facility.
