From the Lead Facilitator

Hello ACLC Community!

Last Friday, we had 10 cubic yards of mulch delivered to complete the project started last year to beautify the courtyard next to the Center. This was only possible thanks to a donation from CCEF, and the entirety of the mulch (a mound about the size of your average car) was spread out and the area cleaned up by a group of learners in under 3 hours. As Dave Hoopes and I looked at the finished product on that gorgeous afternoon, I had only one thought.

This is ACLC.

Parents, learners, and facilitators all came together to work on a project to make our community a better place. This is what ACLC was founded on, and I am incredibly excited to continue to work this semester on some even bigger projects that will make ACLC an even better place for our learners!

To a great second semester,

Jeremy Goodreau

Greetings ACLC Community,

We are excited to report that the portable project CLCS has been working on for three years is coming to fruition. AUSD currently has the project out to bid and we anticipate having the bids in by the beginning of February. From there, we will work with AUSD to pick a contractor and create a timeline for portable installation. ACLC will receive two classroom portables, a shared restroom portable, and a shared administrative portable. We look forward to bringing you more details in the near future.

Warmly,

Annalisa Moore

Thank you all for your Annual Fund Drive contributions. Because of your donations we have been able to edge closer to our fund raising goal of $70,000. CCEF wants to keep saying YES to every request that comes in but we can't do that without you. If you haven't yet donated to the Annual Fund please consider doing so. Here's the link  https://www.clcschools.org/page.cfm?p=308. I promise it only takes a few minutes- you can do a one time donation or a monthly pledge.

Last month we were able to fund: Field Trips to SFMOMA, San Jose Tech Museum and MoAD; Senior Graduation Dinner and a new microphone for CCC.

We are looking forward to saying YES at the February CCEF Board Meeting on  2/28 at 6:45pm in The Center. You are welcome to join and see what it's all about! Or bring your funding ideas (funding request forms are available in the office or email me at  jgbleecker@gmail.com and I'll send one to you).

Finally, let's get cooking!! CCEF Annual Chili Cookoff is bubbling over with excitement. We hope you will be able to join us on  March 3rd at the Elks Lodge. Tickets will soon be available on-line. Interested in have a team joining the cookoff? Let me know!

Hope to see you soon!
