Antioch Charter Academy II families would like to thank everyone that made our first Walkathon/Silent Auction a huge success. All proceeds from the fundraiser directly support the kids, either through improved technology and classroom materials or enhanced science/math/music programs, etc.

In addition to raising much-needed funds, our K-6 kids had a fun afternoon of exercise on a sundrenched April 1.

Every community’s future lies in its youth, and their personal growth is dependent on a good school system that offers a safe and nurturing learning environment – we have that at ACA II and we start out by thanking all the teachers and administrative staff for their selfless daily contributions.

Secondly, we are extremely grateful for the generosity that our community demonstrated, especially in these tough economic times, and we sincerely thank everyone who contributed by pledging money, donating raffle/silent auction prizes, food or water on the day of the event. We strongly recommend you support the following local businesses for their commitment to our school and belief in our community as a whole:

GWF Power Systems; Antioch Lone Tree Dental; Bagel Street Cafe; Barnes & Noble; Bed Bath & Beyond; Big 5 Corp.; Black Bear Diner, Oakley; Brentwood Fine Meats; Celia’s Mexican Restaurant; Chili’s Grill & Bar, Antioch; Contra Costa County Fairgrounds; Costco; Curves; Dancers Elite; Deer Ridge Golf Club; Delta Bowl; Delta Water; Dr. Kristin Mattingly; the Dubitsky family; Gymboree; In-N-Out Burger; Joni Malfitano, Salon Vitor; Julie Huff – Certified Massage Therapist; Mimi’s; Panda Express; Paradise Skate; Rave Motion Pictures; Rick’s on Second; Roddy Ranch Golf Club; Safeway; Schwinn City – The Bicycle Shop; Shadow Lakes Golf Club; Skipolini’s Pizza; Stick-It Gymnastics; State Farm (Blue Rock Center); Sutter Delta Medical Center; Tao San Jin, Slatten Ranch; Target, Slatten Ranch; Trader Joe’s; and Winco Foods, Inc.

Lastly, it would not have been possible without all the dedicated parent volunteers who enthusiastically assisted with setting up the walking course, marking the children’s lap cards and cheering them on, in addition to many other necessary behind-the-scenes tasks. Parent involvement was key to the Walkathon’s success and is key to our school’s success. Thank you!
