Little Medical School
At Little Medical School, we believe children need to dream and discover the exciting career opportunities available to them. Through after-school programs, school breaks, birthday parties, in-school field trips, and special events, we are inspiring young minds to consider a career in healthcare. We have partnered with healthcare professionals to develop a curriculum that highlights the various careers within the medical and STEAM field. Children enjoy a real hands-on experience, including suturing, applying first aid, and reading X-rays with real working medical equipment. We are inspiring tomorrow's healthcare providers today in a fun, creative, and engaging way!

Sidewalk Singers
Open to 3rd-5th grade students - 2:35pm-4:00pm - made possible due to the generosity of the PTA.
Our school chorus provides an opportunity for 3rd – 5th grade students to come together to learn and make beautiful music under the tutelage of our music teacher, Ms. Winograd.
The only requirements for joining the Sidewalk Singers are a love of singing, regular attendance at Thursday after-school rehearsals and participation in performances.
All chorus members are asked to purchase a Sidewalk Singers t-shirt, which costs $8 (scholarships are available).
Consent forms will be distributed in school; extra forms will also be available in Ms. Winograd’s mailbox in the main office. Students must have a signed consent form in order to participate.
Sidewalk Singers meets in the school auditorium on Thursday afternoons from 2:35pm to 4pm. All members will be dismissed outside the 81st Street entrance. Any chorus member enrolled in a paid after school program within the building will not be charged for the Thursday Sidewalk Singer rehearsal time. We warmly welcome parental involvement.
We thank the generosity of the PTA for making this program available to PS 6 students.

Other Interests
Daisies, Brownies & Girl Scouts
Each school year parents have created troops based on interests and the age level of the students. Information will come be sent out in the fall via PS 6 Newsletter for those interested in joining a current troop or creating one.
Girls on the Run teaches life skills through fun, engaging lessons that celebrate the joy of movement as girls meet twice a week for ten weeks. The core of the program is the curriculum, where girls develop social, emotional and psychological skills that will prepare them to feel confident to boldly pursue their dreams and conquer the world.
One of our girls one season said it best: "After I went to Girls on the Run, I realized that life is not about being the best, or having everything your way. Life is about believing in yourself and being yourself no matter what."
Girls on the Run meets at PS 6 in the mornings and hosts two teams, with one team meeting on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:00am-8:15am and the other team meeting Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00am-8:15am. Students are dismissed directly to their class.
Please note that the registration will be held via lottery. Program registration fee assistance (program scholarship) is available by applying online at gotrnyc.org/register
