County Connection is launching Youth Ride Free, a pilot that will allow anyone 18 and under to ride their buses for free from Jun 1 - Jul 3. No IDs or applications are required.
As a test pilot program this summer, their goal is to enhance mobility on public buses and provide access to vital resources within the area like parks, shopping centers, and job opportunities for young riders. Please help to get the word out to students about Youth Ride Free by sharing news and information about the program. Attached are flyers (English and Spanish) for use or you can look at their webpage for more information.
The AHS Community Can’t Be Canceled campaign, initially created in 2020 by Acalanes Leadership, was a successful effort to generate spirit and a great sense of belonging between Acalanes and the greater Lafayette community during the pandemic and beyond.
From “Let’s Paint This Town Blue” to the Senior Car Rally and all the individual class spirit efforts in between, it helped to pull us together. Going forward, ACA • Acalanes Community Always will replace this effort and we hope you’ll join this Acalanes Parents Club effort and get involved!
Other ACA initiatives in the works:
- ACA Days – On-campus Lafayette community fair to look forward to when campus is open to all
- Dons Spirit Team – Be part of an effort focused on increasing our Dons Spirit
- DonsAlums – Facebook network for Dons Alumni to connect with each other and get more involved at Acalanes
- Jobs4Dons – Job network focused on networking, interviewing, resume writing & job opportunities for current and recent Dons
