LAGUNA STUDENT PUBLICATION THE
FOURTH ESTATE
MAKES SCHOOL HISTORY
|
|
The
Fourth Estate
made school history when it was named by Columbia as a finalist for its third consecutive Crown Award in News Hybrid Critique for print and digital publications.
The
Fourth Estate
was one of 20 hybrid magazines chosen as finalists for the
CSPA Crown Award
to be presented at Columbia University in March. Finalists are actual winners, not just nominees. Some will be announced as Gold Crowns; the rest are Silver Crowns.
Publications are judged on their excellence as shown by their design, photography, concept, coverage and writing. A total of 1,172 publications were eligible for judging. Additionally, for the first time the
Fourth Estate
earned
All Columbian Honors
in the Verbal category.
“I am so happy that the
Fourth Estate
received this prestigious award," says Trish McHale, MJE, the
Fourth Estate
faculty advisor. "It is recognition for their dedication and hard work. This group published a first-ever Back-to-School issue, for which they sold ads to cover publishing costs.
Moving forward to December 2018, when our community was devastated by the Thomas Fire and the Montecito mudslides, they added pages to the
February Issue
to cover our community’s experience and to thank our first responders. The results of their efforts are some of the best coverage the
Fourth Estate
has ever produced. The February issue took first place in
NSPA's Best of Show
newsmagazine competition in San Francisco, which was a first for us."
A huge congratulations to the
Fourth Estate staff on this honor!

LAGUNA'S PARENT BOOK CLUB MEETING HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1
|
|
Last year, we established a parent book club to encourage discussion of topics related to the Challenge Success mission among the parent community at Laguna Blanca. Challenge Success is an organization that seeks to instill balance in the lives of students as they navigate through middle school, high school, and beyond. While the books we read are aimed at the parents of Middle and Upper School students, Lower School parents are welcome to attend as well.
We have chosen
The Blessing of a B Minus by Wendy Mogel as the first book this year. Mogel, a clinical psychologist and a parent herself, emphasizes that while parents must act as leaders for their children during adolescence, they also need to allow their kids room to grow on their own. “It’s harder than ever for parents to accept their teenagers because it feels as if there’s no more room for the trial and error of adolescence, for childishness, or clumsiness, or bad attitudes,” she writes. Using a warm and humorous writing style, Mogel aims to assuage the parental anxiety surrounding typical teen behavior. She provides thoughtful suggestions on topics such as bad grades, college stress, and coping with teenage narcissism. She uses her Jewish faith as a guiding principle of her parenting, but anyone can relate to her experience and practicality.
The first meeting of the Challenge Success Parent Book Club has been rescheduled and will take place on Thursday, November 1 in the Isham Library from 6:30-7:30pm. Light refreshments will be served.
Kindly RSVP to
Kathy Piller who will send a reading guide to participants.
We hope to see you there!
