SPECIAL SUNRISE SWIM: FRIDAY, JAN. 11 HONORING JACK & DAVE CANTIN
We are hosting a special Sunrise Swim on Friday, January 11 at 6:45 am to remember alum Jack Cantin and alum parent Dave Cantin who lost their lives in the devastating Montecito Debris Flow. We also want to honor the families who suffered much loss as well as the tremendous work of our community who have given so much time, energy, funds and countless volunteer hours to help our community recover, heal and rebuild.
Current and alum families are invited to attend. We'll wrap up by 7:30 am to allow high school students to get to school in time. Please share this with anyone interested.
