About this Parachute
Story
These are the schools that participated in this project: Under Team Prime Time, Studio School, Emmerson Community Charter School, City School,CLIC, Webster Middle School, Westside Global Awareness Magnet, Marina Del Ray Middle School, Palms Middle School. Executive Director Peter Straus created TEAM PRIME TIME (TPT) in response to the critical need for after-school programming for at–risk children from low–income areas of Los Angeles. With over eighteen years of experience teaching and coaching in LAUSD Schools and at his Prime Time Sports Camp, Straus was all too familiar with this crisis. Most programs that did exist ended at the elementary school level, creating the void at the middle school level TEAM PRIME TIME set out to fill.
