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:
