Volunteer Opportunities

Wednesday Groups: Archway Lincoln has undertaken a tremendous endeavor in introducing Wednesday reading and math groups in their continuous effort to provide the best education possible to their children. The purpose of the reading and math groups is to differentiate instruction to meet student needs and provide further enrichment at each child’s level. Students will be placed in leveled groups for both reading and math. We are in need of 3 volunteers for reading and math groups.
