FAMILY FUN AT PICNIC ON THE GREEN!
|
|
Join us for the annual Family Picnic on the Green next
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 toe 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 BLANCA VOLLEYBALL BEATS CATE IN FIVE-SET THRILLER
|
|
BY BARRY PUNZAL,
NOOZHAWK SPORTS EDITOR
After getting blown out in the fourth set, Laguna Blanca setter
Maddie Walker '19 willed her team to victory in the fifth against rival Cate in a non-league girls volleyball match on Friday, 8/31 at Merovick Gym. The scores were 24-26, 25-20, 25-21, 7-25, 15-12.
"Senior
Maddie Walker stepped up before game five and demanded more from the team," Laguna assistant coach Kat Niksto said. "To bounce back, battle the nerves, and pull out a game-five victory was huge."
Laguna Blanca (4-1) lost a five-set match earlier in the week.
"The match just two days ago that we lost had a big role in the outcome being different this time around," Niksto said. "We are a young team when it comes to experience level, and we are getting so much early-season experience from these non-league matches, it’s just what we have hoped for.”

We love the Growth Mindset Statements that Fourth Grade Teacher Farrah Martin shared on her classroom blog this week!
Another school year is upon us! Nurturing a growth mindset is our goal as we embark on our fourth grade year. Carol Dweck, author of
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, states, "No matter what your ability is, effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment."
We are a community of learners and are looking forward to a year full of GRIT!
