What an INCREDIBLE homecoming week! From hallway decorating to student dodgeball to lunchtime activities and dress-ups to Friday’s HOCO rally and game to the Saturday night out, students showed up and celebrated together. We couldn’t be more proud of the community and Acalanes spirit we have here – it is truly something special!
As a community, we brought in more than 40,000 cans (a new record!) for the Contra Costa Food Bank. Look for the final total in the Daily Don this week! They are IMMENSELY grateful for our donations and our yearly partnership. Well done Acalanes!
A special thank you to all of the class officers, ASB officers, parent liaisons and the leadership program for working tirelessly to plan the week and execute it. It will be a homecoming to remember!
Class skits were filmed & the video will be out soon. See full recaps of the week on @ahs_dons on Instagram.
