"The Apple Creek UMC Tutoring Program was started in 1993 by Loretta Hardman and six tutors. The program is entirely a volunteer project working with Apple Creek Elementary School grades one through three. We have had as many as 22 tutors including substitutes and there is no cost to the parents or to the school."

"We meet with the students one day a week after school for one hour, which includes a nutritious snack provided by the congregation.  It is a one on one teaching experience with good communication between the teacher and the tutor." 

"We are proud of this program which not only assists with the development of the children in our community, but offers blessings to the tutors themselves."                 Carol Dalrymple
