More about Teachers in the Park:  Teachers in the Parks (TIPS) was alsostarted right here in Berks County by Matthew Hathaway, an Exeter SchoolDistrict Elementary School Teacher.  TIPSoffers students fun yet focused, quality but affordable, summer learning inmath, math challenge, and reading. Experienced teachers designed this programto help students transition between grade levels.   Research shows that students lose atremendous amount of reading and math skill over the summer months without continuedpractice and acquisition of new skills. Our program is specifically designed to bridge the summer gap betweengrade levels so that our students start the new year with academic and socialconfidence.  www.teachersintheparks.com
