Acalanes Campus Clean-Up Saturday, Mar 22, 9am-12pm!
Students can earn service hours before the Apr 18 deadline, connect with their Acalanes community, and share in Don’s pride by signing up for the Spring Don’s Day Campus Clean-Up! Trash clean-up, weeding, and gardening will make our campus shine. There are two shifts and students can sign up via Helper Helper:
- Shift 1: 9-10:30am
- Shift 2: 10:30am-12pm
What to bring? Weeding tools and gloves if available. We’ll provide instructions once people arrive, as well as water and treats!
Parents and teachers are also welcome and can just show up at either 9am or 10:30am, but students need to sign up via the Helper Helper link. If all the spots are filled, students can put their name on the waitlist and plan on joining that morning. Thank you for your help!
