Miramonte - Campolindo - Acalanes - Lamorinda Boys Basketball
If the teams advance according to seedings, Miramonte will play @ Campo for a chance to play in the North Coast Section Championship game. Mark your calendar for Wednesday the 29th as the date the game will take place if both teams take care of business, and get there early! Sure to be a SRO sellout.

Pause to Celebrate - Acalanes Union High Schools
Let's celebrate our schools!
This message was sent this afternoon by the Acalanes Union High School District (AUHSD) Superintendent, John Stockton...
(AUHSD includes Acalanes, Campolindo, Del Oro, Las Lomas, and Miramonte)
Life seems all too often to move at a frantic pace. Spring Break brings with it a chance to reflect upon the many positives in our schools. While there are constant struggles taking place in education today, the students of the Acalanes Union High School District are focused on success and are a source of pride for our area.
Much of what is special about our students and community was on display last Sunday afternoon in downtown Lafayette. Performing arts groups showed their skills, visual art was proudly displayed, public speaking students demonstrated the highest level of oratory, and student leaders exhibited their deep commitment to their schools and communities. While many students spoke of the fear of massive cutbacks, they also expressed confidence in the collective wisdom of the community at large.
| Many extraordinary accomplishments have occurred throughout the district recently.
|
| AUHSD students reach such heights due to the educational climate provided through numerous sources.
|
Spring Break brings with it the opportunity for physical, mental, and spiritual refreshment. Please take time next week to celebrate the youth and support structure of our educational community. There really is something special about the students, staff, families, and supportive organizations of this district. This combination helps make Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda, and Walnut Creek destination communities.

Moraga Townhouses and Condos - Miramonte Gardens
Moraga Townhouses and Condos are the most affordable choice for families who would like to benefit from the excellent local schools, and Miramonte Gardens is at the top of the list. Located directly across from Miramonte High School, last years top rated school in the top rated district in the state, the students can sleep in a little later, roll out of bed, and walk to class. The other borders of the complex are Moraga Country Club and Moraga Way. Bus lines are within walking distance and BART is about a 10 minute car-bus ride.
Miramonte Gardens is one of many choices for Moraga Townhouses and Condos. The complex has about 200 units, ranging from about 927 square feet up to 1,828 square feet. All are at least 2 bedrooms and go up to 4 bedrooms. There are some 1 bathroom units, up to 3 bathrooms.
Some of the 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom units can actually live like 4 bedrooms. In addition to the 2 bedrooms, there are a couple of spaces designed as “studies” or “sewing rooms” that have doors and closets. I’ve seen units listed as 2 bedroom actually house 4 St. Mary’s College students.
26 units have been sold from January 1st, 2007 to today, 3/27/2010. 7 were sold in 2007. 12 traded hands in 2008, and 6 changed ownership in 2009. So far this year, only 1 has sold. The average price of all of these sales is $482,076. The highest priced unit went for $605,000 in 2007, while the least expensive home went for $350,000 in November of last year.
Word has it the Miramonte Gardens Home Owners Association set regulations on the number of units allowed to be used as income properties, or rentals. Back in the beginning of Miramonte Gardens it was a retirement complex. I’ve heard that the age requirement back then was 55 and older in order to be an owner. Today there are young families, college students, professionals, and retired people.
Other Moraga Townhouse and Condo properties include the Ascot Court and Ascot Highlands, The Casitas, The Cedars, Lomas Moraga, Moraga Country Club, Moraga Manor, Moraga Ridge, Moraga Terrace, Paseo Moraga, Rancho Moraga, Rheem Gardens, Rheem Terrace, Woodminster, and more.

It includes footage of their bus and plane trip to Providence, RI, team practice as they prepared to take on Richmond and Villanova, time in the team hotel with all the players, and the postgame celebrations and their exciting return to the Bay Area.For showtimes, visit the TV listings page or the St. Mary’s page on the Comcast Sports Bay Area website.
The official Watch Party for the game will be held at AT&T Park, home of the Giants. Alumni, students, family and friends are invited to this event sponsored by Able Services. The game will be shown on the HD Scoreboard in Centerfield and on the TV's throughout the Club Level. Admission is free. Doors open at 3:45 p.m.; game starts at 4:30 p.m. Parking is $5 in Lot A (main lot behind McCovey Cove). Guests can enter the park through the Willie Mays Plaza. The event will take place indoors in the Club Level, which features bars, concessions, and flat screen TVs. The game will also be shown on 110'x31' HD scoreboard that guests can see from the inside the club level or outside in the club level seats. SMC merchandise will be available for purchase. The Athletic Department's official merchandiser, Gameday Souvenirs will be at the park selling SMC merchandise. Special thanks to Sterling Pacific Financial and Provident Credit Union for helping to sponsor this event.
