The Rewarding Educational Experience Program (REEP)

The African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas has partnered with the Overbrook Elementary to provide support to our elementary youth in their pursuit of excellence in their early education. We provide tutoring, mentoring for testing, and support for their annual career days.

The REEP committee encourages other ministries in the church to support the Overbrook Elementary School whenever they consider a youth project. Principal, Kathleen McCladdie, the Home and School president, teachers and students have visited St. Thomas to worship with us and thank us for our assistance.

We are presently seeking volunteers for the school for one hour a week. You may listen to a child read, help in the library, or tutor a group of children. Please consider joining this effort. Our children are our future. They are willing and eager to embrace a caring adult to help them succeed. The Rewarding Educational Experience Program needs you.

Call our office; 214-473-3065, or Lynn Joell; 215-473-1115. "To whom much is given, much is required."
