New Staff Brings New Life to After School Program
Sherry Barbour and Brandon Grant are two faces we hope you get to know in the near future.
 As our new After School Program Director (ASP), Sherry oversees the operation and expansion of the ASP. Sherry is a parent of Harambee students and a previous classroom worker, and we are confident that her heart and experience will help us further develop the ASP.
As the new Youth Coordinator, Brandon will be responsible for overseeing the Middle School Study Table during the ASP, as well as developing the mentoring program and small group Bible studies.
Since 1990, the After School Program has been a light in the South Linden community. Up to 70 students meet to receive academic support and personal guidance each school day. In addition, this year's After School Program offers a variety of exciting opportunities for our students to learn a wide range of skills from web design, to foreign language, to violin lessons.
In Sherry's own words, "The After School Program is exists to reassure each student that our support does not stop when the bell rings at the end of the
day. We are there to see them through the complete learning process!"
