SERVICE AWARD GUIDELINES UPDATED
Congratulations to the 215 students who received an AHS or President’s award for their outstanding community service! This was a record high year for community service with Dons volunteering 15,970 hours.
 
Please note that important revisions have been made to the award guidelines to clarify what service counts and to promote student service for the broader community. Some of the changes include:

• New requirement to submit hours within one month of service
• New limits on AHS and AHS Club service hours
• New guidelines that allow for some for profit volunteering (senior centers, camps, teaching assistants and coaches)
• NEW Excellence in Community Service Recognition for graduating seniors

 
You can find the detailed updated guidelines here that will apply to all service hours submitted between Apr 20, 2024 to Apr 18, 2025. If you or your student have any questions, please email us at communityservice@acalanesparentsclub.com.  (And if your student emails us but hasn’t heard back, please make sure they check their spam folder!).
 
Happy summer!
