Top 3 Things This Week
●    Donate balls and games for lunchtime activities
●    Volunteer or donate to Finals Fuel
●    Vote YES on Measure H

We’re down to the final two weeks of school, with a long weekend ahead. After AP testing, we hope students and families can take a well-earned breath before finals week begins. Enjoy the extra time to recharge with family and friends.

And don’t miss these special Senior events this week:
Wednesday, May 20 – Senior Awards & Senior Sunset
Thursday, May 21 – Elementary School Memory Walk & Senior Rally in the Park

Lunchtime Activities Need Your Help
Students have been asking for more lunchtime activities, and we’re excited to help create more opportunities for connection, play, and time away from devices. Thanks to a Spring Grant, the Administration purchased a secure equipment cart for student check-out during lunch. We’re asking families to donate gently used items from home or purchase items from our wishlist. Thank you for continuing to support opportunities that help our students engage, connect, and have fun together.

Finals Fuel Volunteers & Donations
Finals Fuel is always a student favorite during finals week. APC parent volunteers provide snacks and encouragement between exams to help students recharge and finish strong.
If you’d like to volunteer or donate snacks, please use the sign-up links below. We truly appreciate the support.

Please Vote YES on Measure H
You’ll likely hear this reminder a few more times before the end of the year, but it’s an important one: please look for your Measure H ballot and vote YES. Measure H supports our K–8 schools and is critical for the future of our district. Without additional funding, future budget cuts will be significantly deeper and more impactful for students than the reductions already communicated this week by Superintendent Nickerson.

Please return your ballot and support our schools.

Acalanes Community Always,
💙 Jocelyn Birrell
