Community Council Helping students develop social responsibility is an important part of our mission to educate young women for life. Through St. Margaret's Community Service Program, we provide students with the opportunity to donate their time and enthusiasm to a variety of projects in both Tappahannock and the Greater Richmond area. Every student must complete 12 service hours per year, though many girls complete more. Some sponsoring agencies include the public library, a local nursing home and Riverside Tappahannock Hospital, The Maymont Foundation, St. Joseph's Villa, Special Olympics, The March of Dimes, and Habitat for Humanity. In addition to taking advantage of classroom opportunities, students are encouraged to join clubs, publications, committees, performance groups, and athletic teams.
Some organizations select students to join, others are open to all.
An activities period each afternoon allows time for meetings and athletic practices. Most performance groups have regularly scheduled rehearsals during the academic day. Other organizations are responsible for setting their own meeting times. The following list represents these activities in place this year. An asterisk indicates that a student must be selected to join the organization.
