Overview: Working closely with our partners – Solar 1, The Children’s Environmental Foundation, and the Children’s Aid Society – P.S. / I.S. 50 creates new learning experiences that educate whole children, support good health and nutrition, and prepare them for future green careers. We use STEM approaches to integrate core curriculum with sustainability themes. We believe that hands-on learning experiences engage students and support improved academic performance. Our sustainability teachers and garden coordinator will differentiate inter-disciplinary units and activities to provide multiple entry points for students across a wide spectrum of abilities and interests. We also plan to include entrepreneurial experience by developing a school-based Community Supported Agriculture program. Students love the weekly RADIO 50 broadcast and eagerly participate by sharing announcements, special events, and their musical talents over the PA system. As our school song says, “P.S. 50’s going to teach each boy and girl...from East Harlem, to the City, to the Country, and the Whole Wide World.” Together we will plant the seeds of sustainability in education and create a beacon of best practices in urban rooftop agriculture.

District: 08 Grade Level: 6-8 Enrollment: 343

Overview: Serving students and their families from the Bronx and beyond, the James M. Kieran School of Arts & Humanities is the place for middle school students who are looking to build or extend their passion for the arts. Through our arts infused literacy curriculum, our students graduate with extensive knowledge of art history, musical literacy, and the ability to defend their opinions with facts from a multitude of primary sources. In place of textbooks, our students engage in dialogue around real texts and resources, furthered through our partnerships with the New York Historical Society, Studio in a School, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Additionally, our students learn the “power of the pen,” through daily writing workshops, where we write across multiple genres to perfect our craft. At I.S. 123, we believe the skills developed through the arts and literacy transcend all academic areas, ultimately resulting in students becoming the fullest expression of themselves. Come check out our daily lyric studies, our Regents math and science courses, and our superb basketball team as we proudly continue to represent our families and community.
