Monday, August 27, 2012 at 4:03PM Summer is over and school is beginning! The students in our neighborhood have their first day of school tomorrow!
I am excited about being back at TMC Tutoring for a new year! I sent letters and registration forms to parents of students who attended tutoring last year, and I hope several new families will be signing their kids up for our program over the next several weeks.

Saturday, June 16, 2012 at 11:47AM The last day of TMC Tutoring for the 2011-2012 school year was May 24th. We have now served our local community for eleven years! We had a good year getting to know and serve fourteen different kids from nearby public elementary schools, and began to build relationships with eight families whose children attended our program consistently throughout the whole year. While these numbers seem a little small, numbers are not necessarily the best measurement of positive impact on our community.
Thank you so much to the 15 students from St. John's Jesuit High School & Academy, 6 students from Notre Dame Academy, 5 students from Central Catholic High School, and 2 students from Rogers High School who gave their time as volunteer tutors this year: a total of approximately 550 hours. And to the fourteen members of our congregation that also served the program in some capacity this year, as a regular tutor, a substitute/short-term tutor, a shepherd, helping with snack, etc. And thanks to the Reynolds Corners Rotary Club, the congregation of Toledo Mennonite Church, and others who generously gave financial resources to make the tutoring program possible. Not least, thank you to all those who supported our work in prayer throughout the year.
Please continue to pray for the schools we serve (McTigue and Hawkins Elementary), and their staff and teachers as they prepare for the coming school year. Pray for me (Scott) and others involved in planning for the next year of the tutoring program: especially Karen Rupp and others involved in planning for our annual Quilt Show fundraiser at the church. Pray for all of our students and tutors and their families throughout the summer. And pray for all those by whom we will be blessed and whom we will serve in the coming year.
May God Bless you this summer!

Monday, September 26, 2011 at 8:33AM For many people when they think of Mennonites, they think of quilts!! Come see some of these beautiful, handmade works of art, many of them made in Toledo!
TMC Tutoring is a free tutoring program for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders who are at risk of failing in reading or math. We are able to provide this free after school program to our neighborhood because of the financial support of generous donors such as the Reynolds Corners Rotary Foundation and the congregation of Toledo Mennonite Church. But we also need additional financial support!
The annual quilt show is our main fundraiser for tutoring. Not only is this a great way to give to the children in our neighborhood, it is a wonderful cultural event!! See over 30 handmade quilts on display!! Purchase crafts, fabrics, books, and bake sale items. Come Friday evening at 6:30pm for the coffee-house style concert and meal (suggested donation for admission: $20).
We hope to see you there!
Check out the event pages on Facebook for the quilt show:

We provide one-on-one tutoring focused on homework completion and reading enrichment (also math) for first, second, and third graders who attend McTigue Elementary School and Hawkins Elementary School. All our students are referred to us by their teachers as struggling in reading or math.
If you have a child attending one of these schools who is struggling, talk to your teacher or the secretary at the school office for more information and for a registration packet. Or, call us at the program directly! The church office phone number is 419-536-1251.
We would love to answer any questions you might have!
