Community School
Community School
Overbrook Educational Center was designated a Community School by City and District officials in 2019. This has enabled us to form stronger partnerships that enhance student, family, and neighborhood engagement. Please contact our Community School Coordinator, Kiki Newman, for more information.
Food Distribution
On Wednesdays, OEC gives away food to school and neighborhood community members through a partnership with Philabundance. We have proteins, grains, canned goods, and other non-perishable items. On the last Wednesday of the month, a full bag is available!
