After School
Our After School hours are both the largest and most well-known program that The Simple Room offers. Any student from Kindergarten through 12th grade in Bond County may attend, free of charge. Students have access to daily healthy snacks and tutoring assistance as well as Bible lessons, recreational activities, new experiences, and transportation home. The After School Program is run by The Simple Room Executive Team as well as our Leadership Team - college students from Greenville University - along with the assistance of many community volunteers.
