PICNIC ON THE GREEN IS TOMORROW!
|
|
Join us for the annual Family Picnic on the Green
this Friday, September 14
from 5-7PM
on the Hope Ranch campus!
Make an afternoon of it – cheer on the football team at their 3PM home game and stay to picnic and enjoy music afterwards.
This relaxing evening will feature tunes by the popular
The Bryan TITUS Trio
and complimentary dessert by Scoops.
ABOUT THE BAND
The Bryan Titus Trio grows up like a weed from a tangled and overgrown history of Bluegrass and American Roots Music. Recently touted as a "Postmodern Barn Dance" band, they write & perform toe-tapping tunes that evoke themes & melodies of yesterday with a pinch of modern irony.
NEW THIS YEAR: there will be no food for purchase at the event.
Remember to pack or order your own picnic and join in on the fun!
LOCAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TASTY PICNIC FARE
We can't wait to see you there as we kick off the school year together!

LAGUNA TURNS 85 NEXT FRIDAY!
|
|
It’s easy to imagine the views of spreading oaks, purple mountains, and the glittering Pacific Ocean that captivated Hope Ranch developer Harold Chase when he first conceived of the Hope Ranch community over 100 years ago. Ten years after outfitting the land with bridle trails, roadways, and the foundations of a residential neighborhood, Chase gifted a group of intrepid, ambitious educators the land to establish the independent educational institution that would become Laguna Blanca School.
To celebrate this milestone, faculty, staff, and students in Grades Early Kindergarten through Twelve will gather in Merovick Gymnasium for an All-School 85
th
Birthday Bash on Friday, September 21, the exact day our school opened 85 years ago. The celebration will include a pep rally, spirit giveaways, lunch, a gluten-free birthday cake generously donated by
Lilac Patisserie
, and a photo booth created by Lower School Art Teacher Courtney Guay and her Lower School students.
As we look ahead to Laguna's next 85 years, we will be celebrating where we have been, how we have grown, and where we are today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAGUNA!
