Monday Morning Panthers (MMP) is a program for Kindergarten – 5th grade students in the Knoxville School District to enjoy fun, Christian based childcare on Knoxville’s late start Mondays. Doors open at 7:30am, Breakfast is from 7:45-8:10am, and the remainder of the time is filled with crafts, games, movies, yoga, and more. A typical day begins with sharing of prayer requests, breakfast, story time, then a mix of crafts, games, free play, yoga, or movie time. The students are then walked to a nearby bus stop to catch the bus to West Elementary and Northstar Elementary. If you are interested in learning more, contact the church office.
