Nonprofit Best Buddies Recognizes Archer Student's Fundraising Efforts
Best Buddies recognized Maisie S. ’20 in September for helping Archer raise the most money as a school at the 2019 Long Beach Friendship Walk. Maisie raised about $3,400 for Best Buddies, a nonprofit organization that provides jobs, leadership opportunities, and lasting friendships for youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“Archer’s support is essential because we have been able to expand our services, such as our school programs from 65 programs to 92 in the past few years. We’re able to do that because of dedicated volunteers like Maisie and the rest of the Archer members,” said Melissa Peterson, the program supervisor at Best Buddies California.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation or other legally protected status in its hiring or in the administration of its educational policies and programs, admissions policies, financial aid programs or other school-administered programs.
The Archer School for Girls’ mission is to educate students in an environment specifically designed for girls. As such, the school will consider any candidate for admission who identifies as a girl. Once admitted to Archer, all students in good academic standing who abide by Archer’s code of conduct and who meet requirements for graduation will be eligible to receive an Archer diploma, regardless of any change in sexual identity or other legally protected status.
