Marion’s vocation started when she was hired at Mount Vernon Board of Ed. to teach dance at Nellie Thornton Jr. High School, now known as the Denzel Washington School of the Arts where she taught African Dance. In addition, she taught at Grimes, Graham, Parker Elementary, Edward Williams, AB Davis, Rebecca Turner, Nelson Mandela and Mount Vernon High Schools.

The New York State Cancer Services Program Early Detection Program. Marion is a very strong-willed woman who gives all of her praises to God. Ms. Archer appreciates the opportunity to thank God through dance as being one of the first to bring liturgical dance ministry to Mount Vernon 49 years ago. Neither challenge has stopped her from working with the youth. She fights for them while fighting for herself & her family.
