Peace Partners with Teacher Time
Dear Peace Community of Faith,
As we continue into the 2020-2021 school year many of us are stressed, uncertain, and facing so many unexpected challenges. However, it is true that when communities come together, we can do amazing things. That is why the Teacher Time Team have created a program to address the needs of community members during these times.
The Teacher Time program works with community members to bring teachers and students together in a healthy learning environment, and we have partnered with Peace UMC to address the needs of your community.
Our mission is to help students have a safe space to learn by creating learning pods of 6-9 students with a licensed teacher that is looking to enrich students in a safe and educational environment. We provide families with a safe place to send their students to work through their daily district-assigned work, and attend their daily meetings, under the supervision of licensed K-12 teachers that can be there to assist the students and provide them with enriching experiences.
There are two sessions, daily, that will be conducted at Peace United Methodist Church beginning October 5th, 2020:
– One morning session from 8:00am-11:30am for $35
– One afternoon session from 12:30pm-4:00pm for $35
– Multiple session discounts are available, more details to come.
We are following CDC guidelines regarding safety and sanitation procedures to ensure a safe learning environment for your students.
We are looking forward to bringing students and teachers in your community together to work through these challenging times. If you, or any of your friends and family have students ready for an enriching experience please contact us at: info@mnteachertime.com.
You can also call Robert Matthews directly at (612) 987-9360.
If you, or any of your friends and family are licensed teachers looking to work with us in the community, please contact Robert at robertmatthews@mnteachertime.com for more information.
We will send you a link to our website for registration and further information when it is published. However, we will be accepting students beginning October 5th, 2020 for sessions. Please reach out for further information and/or if you would like to register your students to begin their enriching adventure with us!
We appreciate the support provided to us by Peace UMC and the community and look forward to continued support as we move forward together.
Best Wishes,
The Teacher Time Team
