LOWER SCHOOL CAMPUS CELEBRATES ITS HOMECOMING
|
|
BY BROOKE HOLLAND,
NOOZHAWK REPORTER
Students and staff at Laguna Blanca’s Lower School in Montecito returned to their campus Monday, more than three months after the January 9 debris flow forced the temporary closure.
The EK-4 grade school at 260 San Ysidro Road escaped undamaged by the passage of thick mud, debris and boulders from the hills above Montecito, but maintenance crews have been deep cleaning to remove ash and dust in the aftermath of the Thomas Fire in December.
“It’s emotional,” Third Grade Instructor
Brooke Green, a 1997 Laguna Blanca alumna, said of returning to campus. “This is our home. We can be together and start fresh."

LAGUNA INDUCTS NINE STUDENTS INTO ESTEEMED CUM LAUDE SOCIETY
|
|
Congratulations to our 2018 Cum Laude Society Inductees!
Nine recipients were honored at a ceremony in Spaulding Theatre on Wednesday, 4/25 for demonstrating academic excellence (top 10% of junior class, top 20% of senior class), good character, honor, and integrity in all aspects of school life.
Students who were inducted as Juniors in 2017 presented the new members with a certificate and a Cum Laude Society pin.
Keynote Speaker and 2008 Alumnus
Nick Behrman
congratulated the newest inductees and shared some of the qualities of successful scholars. He also highlighted that his Laguna classmates—now golf course developers, Ph.D.s, M.D.s, entrepreneurs, and more—have continually inspired him to achieve greatness. Currently practicing law in Santa Barbara at Buynak, Fauver, Archbald & Spray, and LLP, Nick credits Laguna for helping him to develop his leadership skills through his work in student government and as ASB President. "I cherish the relationships I formed with students and faculty—many that still exist today," he adds.
After the ceremony, the honorees and their families celebrated over lunch in the Ruston Amphitheatre.

LAGUNA STUDENTS IN GRADES 3-5 COMPETE IN CRANE RELAYS
|
|
The annual Track Meet at Crane Country Day School was a success! Third, fourth, and fifth grade students from all over Santa Barbara enjoyed friendly competition throughout the day. Events included the 100-yard dash, 400-yard dash, softball throw, hurdles, high jump, and relay. Most importantly, it provided students the opportunity to showcase their fabulous sportsmanship and many talents.
"I thought it was fun that we had a day of all sports and we were able to be with kids from other schools. I wish it was more than once a year! My favorite event was the baton race because we got first place!"
~
Isidora, Grade 4
Fourth grader Skyla also commented, "My favorite event was relay because my team was fast!"
Check out more pix of the fourth graders

BECOME AN ASSIST HOST FAMILY!
|
|
Laguna is a member school of ASSIST, an organization which places outstanding international students on one-year scholarships in some of the finest independent schools in the country. It is an opportunity for high school students coming from countries such as Spain, Germany, Sweden, and Australia to make contributions to our community and to develop a deeper understanding of American culture.
Laguna is looking for families interested in hosting a high school exchange-student for part or all of the 2018-19 school year.
The new German scholar will be joining our tenth grade next year. He plays soccer, golf, and tennis, and he enjoys studying English, history, math, and languages.
He lived with his family (including his twin brother and older sister) in Sweden for two years.
Families can host for a year or for a semester and must have a male student attending any grade at Laguna during the 2018-19 year.
If you are interested in putting your name on a list for becoming a Host Family or would like more information about the ASSIST scholar program,
please contact
Carol Nordgaarden
,
Laguna's International Student Coordinator.
