Help support your child's school!

Please CONTRIBUTE to help us reach our fundraising goal of 100% participation from our families.

The Lab Middle School Direct Appeal is our singular, most important fundraiser. The Direct Appeal is the lifeline that allows Lab Middle to offer the extensive afterschool programs and fund the necessary expenses that make our school the vibrant community that it is. Without your continued support, these programs cannot not exist!

Afterschool Programs 2010-2011

Lab afterschool programs offer Lab Middle School students opportunities to develop skills or interests in writing, science, math and more. Lab Afterschool programs are open to all Lab Middle School. All programs are made possible by the fundraising work of the Lab Middle School Parents’ Association. Check out the flyer for more details.

Chess Team

ChessNYC is offering multiple programs for Lab students. Based on ability and interest students may take one of the following chess courses: Performance Chess and Team Development, Head Start (introduction) Class and Chess for Girls. These programs are taught by chess masters and are held at Lab. There is a minimal fee to participate. Please register through the link on our website (www.nyclabschool.net).
