What is ACA You Ask?
Not only is “ACA” short for “Acalanes,” it is also the overarching, unifying theme that we at Acalanes High School represent on and off campus. Simply put, ACA (Acalanes Community Always) represents:
- Connectivity between Acalanes students, teachers, staff members, alumni and the greater Lafayette community
- Spirit and unity
These are characteristics that we all share as part of the Acalanes family, both during our time at Acalanes, and beyond as alumni. Our ACA spirit is on display daily in and outside of the classroom, and within our athletics, performing arts, student government, clubs, and Acalanes support organizations. We look forward to supporting ongoing programming that continues to build school spirit and supports our community and each other!
ACA Student Discounts!
As part of your student’s ASB card purchase, your student can get discounts or freebies at some favorite local business, such as
- Diablo Foods
- Johnny’s Donuts
- Local Kitchens
- Sideboard
- And more!
Your student just needs to show their ASB card at checkout. See the full list of discounts here! There is still time to purchase the ASB card in the Acalanes Webstore, this money drives student activities at Acalanes.
Lamorinda Back-2-School Promotion
Eat and shop locally this back-to-school season! In addition to the above Acalanes ASB program, the Lafayette Chamber has curated a list of fan-favorite spots all around Lamorinda offering discounts to students in the months of August and September. All your student has to do is show their student ID at checkout (or call for appointments) to receive the discounts. Click here to see all participating businesses.
*This is a separate program from our beloved ASB program above.
AHS Garden Update
The AHS garden is coming along! We met weekly over the summer to harvest tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers – all that we planted last spring. We continue to harvest during our weekly garden club meetings and will soon start to plan our winter garden.
Thank you to our Lafayette Community Garden partners Janet Thomas, Jeannie Hill, and Pam Winther who made a special trip to weed and tidy up the meditation garden so it would be ready when students returned. Also thank you to APC for weeding during their clean up day. It really does take a village!
We have our first work day of the school year TODAY, Sunday Aug 25, until 2pm.
Thanks for all of your support! If you have any questions, please reach out.
