Recognizing and Breaking Free of Perfectionism:
Tips for Helping Children Minimize this Self-Defeating Trait
We often hear how perfectionism can drive people toward success. However, perfectionism has many significant negative consequences, including anxiety and depression, and is self-defeating. Learn more about perfectionism and how this trait develops into a pattern that is not sustainable or balanced. We will review the signs of perfectionism, how it leads to anxiety and depression, and what parents can do to encourage cognitive and behavioral routines that minimize this trait.
WIN A TICKET TO OUR UPCOMING SPRING BENEFIT!
All attendees of this Lunch & Learn will automatically be entered to win one ticket to Laguna's 2019 Spring Benefit. There will be two lucky winners!
Must be present to win.

NEW DATE! UPPER SCHOOL WINTER FORMAL HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO THIS SATURDAY, 2/9

LAGUNA BLANCA BOYS SOCCER ROMPS IN CIF WILD-CARD GAME, 5-2
|
|
BY BARRY PUNZAL,
NOOZHAWK SPORTS EDITOR
Suli Bah '20 and
Dylan Young '19 each scored two goals, powering the Laguna Blanca boys soccer team to a 5-2 win over visiting Viewpoint in a CIF-SS Division 6 wild-card game at Girsh Park on Tuesday, 2/5.
Bah, a junior, also assisted on two goals and
Andrew Tolles '19 scored on a penalty kick as Laguna Blanca continued its late-season surge. The Owls scored seven goals in their last regular-game against Grace Brethren and in the game prior took Frontier League champion Santa Clara to overtime.
The Owls (5-7-2) controlled the game from the start and advanced to a first-round match-up at second-seeded Azusa (16-3-2) on Thursday, 2/7, where they ultimately fell 4-3 and closed out their exciting season of play.

GIRLS SOOCER TEAM FALLS TO JURUPA VALLEY
|
|
BY BARRY PUNZAL,
NOOZHAWK
SPORTS EDITOR
Laguna Blanca held a strong Jurupa Valley team scoreless in the first half before the home squad erupted for three goals early in the second half and eliminated the Owls, 3-0, from the CIF-SS Division 6 girls soccer playoffs on Wednesday.
"We were able to hold them off for the first half," Laguna coach Kevin Shertzer said. "
Natalie McCaffery '20
in goal made a couple of key saves and our defense of
Katherine Monroy '20
,
Julia Guglielmo '20
, and
Pisci Abrego '20
really put in a shift."
The defenders made clutch plays to deny Jurupa Valley.
"We used up two of our nine lives on chances I thought were in, only to have one of these players make a last second touch," said Shertzer.
Jurupa Valley broke loose 2 1/2 minutes into the second half, scoring off a crossing ball to the back post. It added a second goal 10 minutes later and scored a third goal five minutes after the second.

UPPER SCHOOL TALENT SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
|
|
NINTH GRADE STUDENTS MAKE FIRST STOP IN MONTHS-LONG URBAN STUDIES INITIATIVE
|
|
Last Friday, Laguna ninth graders left the comfortable confines of their idyllic campus and traveled to Downtown Los Angeles for an introduction to their collaborative
ethnography
and urban studies unit—a joint project in English
and
Biology. At the helm of this interdisciplinary, place-based learning experience was English Instructor Ashley Tidey who prepared students by examining themes of transience and vulnerability in Steinbeck's novel
Of Mice and Men.
Her partner and collaborator in the project, Biology Instructor Amanda Whalen, spent time with the same students studying vulnerable populations and health inequalities, as well as learning ethnography skills and the “ethics of contact” to use in the field.
