ACAD was present at Valley Alternative Magnet School’s Peace Day event this June! Wendy Phelps, Owner of More is Available Coaching and Consulting gave two speeches on Conflict Resolution to groups of 6-12th graders. ACAD was proud to be part of Valley Alternative Magnet School’s efforts on peace and tolerance education!

On May 15, 2008, California’s Supreme Court reversed the ban on gay marriage, giving gay couples the right to legally marry in this state. ACAD applauds this decision, as it is a momentous day not just for gay couples, but for Humanity overall.

ACAD partnered with See’s Candies this past Valentine’s Day to make the holiday experience all the more sweeter! Thank you to all our supporters who made this fundraiser a success!

ACAD granted a college application fee award to one student for their essay written for the Knowledge for College Group program.
