(Peterborough, ON) - The Peterborough Petes are excited to connect our players with students in Peterborough, the surrounding communities, and around the world. Beginning on Monday, January 17, educators will have the opportunity to apply to host a Petes 45 minute virtual school visit that includes a question and answer period with players addressing topics like the importance of mental and physical health, and a physical activity powered by Hybrid Fitness, Health, Performance .

The Petes recognize that this school year has been a challenge and want to continue to connect with students who have demonstrated resilience throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and educators who have gone over and above for their community.

"School visits were a marquee part of the Petes community outreach programming and we want to continue to host them. Our players look forward to connecting with students and educators," says Petes Coordinator, Administration and Community Engagement, Morgan Blaind.

School visits will be hosted entirely online and educators will need to have access to video conferencing technology such as: Zoom, Google Meets or Microsoft Teams. Petes players can either join an in-person class using SMART Board or other conferencing technology, or can join a fully virtual class using the video call platform already in place.

Educators and schools should contact Morgan Blaind at (705) 743-3681 ext. 221 or mblaind@gopetesgo.com with any questions regarding the virtual school visits. Due to high demand, a visit cannot be guaranteed for every class.

We're asking fans to submit photos and videos cheering on our players following the latest restrictions that prevent fans from attending home games.
