The elementary schools of the David Posnack Hebrew Day School (DPHDS) offers a number of after-school club opportunities for students to explore interests in games, performance, science, and writing.

DAVIE CAMPUS 

Our MindLab, which is held each Monday, is an innovative program for the development and training of thinking abilities and life skills through thinking games.

Our Show Choir, overseen by our music specialist Hollie Berger, is held each Tuesday for 3^rd – 5^th graders, who work together to improve their vocal techniques, breathing and tone production as they prepare for exciting performances. 

Chess master Wayne Meyerson leads our Chess Club for kindergarteners-5^th graders, instructing them in how to play chess and grow personally through this challenging mental sport.

Positive Outdoor Practice (P.O.P.), run by coach Gina Florio, is for students in grades 2 to 5 and meets on Wednesdays. P.O.P.’s goal is to build self-confidence and learn basic leadership skills.  This unique club offers a safe, positive and socially fun environment for the students.

On Thursdays, the Davie Gazette, run by Barbara Aponte, meets.  Intended for 3^rd - 5^th graders, students learn to interview and research and write articles for school newspaper.

Our Rocket Club meets one Friday a month and is advised by Dr. Bradley Birns. 

In this club 3^rd – 5^th graders learn to build their own rockets, which concludes with a giant “Blast Off” demonstration at the end of the school year.

On Mondays through Fridays, the Homework Club meets under the direction of Darrow Vineberg.  In the club, 1^st–5^th graders do their homework with the help of a certified teacher.

 PLANTATION CAMPUS

Our exciting Junior Drama Club meets once a week, performing three fun shows a year.  Students in K-2^nd grade learn basic acting techniques while showcasing their talents.

From painting to stitching and everything in between, K-2 students in our Arts and Crafts program have fun making interesting crafts and creating unique gifts for family and friends.

In our Mime and Improvisation program, students in K-5^th grade learn the silent art of pantomime as they hone their acting skills.  Improvisation techniques teach them quick thinking and expression.

Plantation Campus also features a Choir for grades 3 through 5, where students work together to improve breathing, vocal techniques, and tone quality. Blending their voices in unison and harmony, creating beautiful music in many genres including classical, Israeli, Broadway, Yiddish and Ladino, the students learn a repertoire which prepares them to perform at varied school and community events.

In our Drama Club also for grades 3 through 5, students learn musical theatre pieces, stage presence, proper voice production for the stage, stage movement and microphone use while preparing for an exciting production. The students experience live theatre, using costumes and makeup, dance routines, ensemble pieces and solos.  The drama group presents two musicals each school year.
