LAFAYETTE RESERVOIR RUN: Sunday, Oct 20
The Race Before the Race Continues - Register NOW
Lafayette's public schools are beneficiaries of this event, with 15% percent of each registration going back to Acalanes - so be sure to choose Acalanes during the registration process! The school who most increases their number of runners compared to last year will receive an additional $500 beneficiary check! (We’ve got this Dons!)
Run/walk downtown Lafayette in the 2-mile fun run/walk or 5k, or strive for your best 10k time, which includes going around the Lafayette Reservoir on race day, Sunday, Oct 20. There is also a virtual option around the paved trail of the reservoir from Oct 12-19.
Thank you for supporting our schools!
The AHS Community Can’t Be Canceled campaign, initially created in 2020 by Acalanes Leadership, was a successful effort to generate spirit and a great sense of belonging between Acalanes and the greater Lafayette community during the pandemic and beyond.
From “Let’s Paint This Town Blue” to the Senior Car Rally and all the individual class spirit efforts in between, it helped to pull us together. Going forward, ACA • Acalanes Community Always will replace this effort and we hope you’ll join this Acalanes Parents Club effort and get involved!
Other ACA initiatives in the works:
- ACA Days – On-campus Lafayette community fair to look forward to when campus is open to all
- Dons Spirit Team – Be part of an effort focused on increasing our Dons Spirit
- DonsAlums – Facebook network for Dons Alumni to connect with each other and get more involved at Acalanes
- Jobs4Dons – Job network focused on networking, interviewing, resume writing & job opportunities for current and recent Dons
