Please join the Acalanes Campus Culture Committee for the second session in our 3-part “Wellness for Parents” series. This session will focus on strategies to support our own wellness and the wellness of our students.

Transgender Awareness Week & Day of Remembrance
Transgender Awareness Week, observed Nov 13-19, is a week dedicated to raising visibility and awareness for the transgender community through education and advocacy.
It leads into Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) on Nov 20, founded in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith in memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was tragically killed in 1998. The day honors transgender individuals lost to violence and stands as a reminder of the ongoing need for compassion, understanding, and action.
