Community Service Projects in Hagerman

Why We Serve Hagerman

AAFS is committed to serving the community of Hagerman and looks for ways to incorporate service-learning into the curriculum. Currently we have the following service projects:

Ag Safety Day

Every 3 years AAFS hosts a safety Day in conjunction with Safe Kids Magic Valley and St. Lukes. Here, Officer Cornett helps hand out bike helmets to all Hagerman Elementary students.

Plant the Town

AAFS hosts an annual plant the town day before labor day in which we plant all of the planters in town in front of the library, city hall, senior center, pocket park, veteran memorial, and are willing to help any local non profit.

Community Garden

AAFS organizes and plants the community garden and uses it as a lab for the Horticulture class.  Hagerman Helping Hands partners with us in the food distribution and management.  Last year an estimated 4000lbs of produce was raised for the Hagerman Community.
