Community Service Update The mission of Archer’s Community Service program is to inspire students to become involved, compassionate citizens. Archer provides opportunities for students to perform community service through school-wide projects and after-school activities, while challenging the girls to create and find meaningful service experiences of their own. This year has been particularly successful in fostering partnerships with service organizations that offer real, hands-on experiences. A few highlights from recent events: • Organizing monthly dinners and art workshops with Daybreak Women’s Shelter • Trick-or-treating for UNICEF to assist the United States Fund • Donating candy and chocolate collected during the Halloween Candy Drive to the Westside Food Bank • Making blankets and gathering gifts for nine families through our annual Adopt-A-Family program • More than 60 students and parents delivering holiday gifts to families in need in downtown L.A. • Sorting and delivering books at the Book Ends facility

• Spring Blood Drive with St. John’s Blood Donation Center • Donated cereal and toiletries to the SOVA Cereal and Toiletries Drive during Spirit Week • Raised awareness about traffic and pedestrian safety in Brentwood • Assisted with the 5K/10K Run organized by the Upward Bound House to raise funds for transitional homes in March Coming Up: • Hold on to your books for the Book Ends drive in April!
