AHS Service Awards and Presidential Service Awards Celebration
Congratulations to those students who have been awarded AHS and Presidential Service Awards! We thank your students for making a difference to those individuals and organizations in need in our community and we hope they’ll continue their community service in the future.
If your student received a service award, please remind them to come to the front quad at lunchtime on Wednesday, May 17 to pick up their certificate and enjoy a celebratory ice cream! Please note that all award recipients have been notified via email. If your student submitted an application and has not yet received any email in response, please have them email communityservice@acalanesparentsclub.com as soon as possible.

Buy a Brick, Leave a Legacy… 
The Acalanes Class of 2023 Car Rally is here – this Friday, May 19 at 5pm! Come out for a spirited Dons send off for our annual, community-wide celebration to cheer on our Acalanes seniors and their families. Join spectators along Mt.

May is Jewish Heritage Month, along with AAPI and Mental Health Awareness Month (as we highlighted last week). The White House issued a proclamation that begins with, “This month, we celebrate the enduring heritage of Jewish Americans, whose values, culture, and contributions have shaped our character as a Nation. For generations, the story of the Jewish people — one of resilience, faith, and hope in the face of adversity, prejudice and persecution — has been woven into the fabric of our Nation’s story.” Read the entire Presidential proclamation
