Have you ever wanted to give your own TED talk? Rising students in Grades 6-8 are invited to sign-up for Summer @ Laguna's Camp TED-Ed and spend the week playing impromptu speaking games, honing public speaking skills, and fostering creativity. On the last day of camp, campers will deliver a TED talk of their own on stage! This camp session includes a digital copy of your own TED talk.

The talent show is open to all Middle School students and faculty, and all of our Middle School community (including parents and families) are invited to attend. We hope you'll come and cheer on these students and create a supportive and uplifting atmosphere!

We will collect donations and sell food at the show. All proceeds will go directly to Hope for Ukraine, a non-profit that works to support the poorest communities in Ukraine. Please note that donations and purchasing food are 100% optional.

If you are interested in representing the Owls in chess, please email Aidan Cohen.

Dr. Diana Hill shared a wonderful presentation with parents at last week’s Lunch & Learn event. Check out the slides from her talk to learn how to manage potential parent burnout during this difficult time and how parents can thrive through Acceptance and Commitment therapy techniques.

We are excited to announce that in the 2022-23 school year, Parents Auxiliary will be operating with a new name, Family Association. This name change includes enhancements to the family engagement model to provide a more inclusive organization that welcomes all families and stakeholders. There will also be additional opportunities for families to be involved with the Laguna community. Stay tuned for more details on how you can get involved!

We can’t do it without you! Volunteers provide the necessary support to students, faculty, and our larger community. See volunteer opportunities needed for the 2022-23 school year.

Questions? Please get in touch with Yumi Bollag or the development office.

Parents, please call the main office ahead of time if you are planning on picking up your child early for an appointment during the school day. Thank you for your cooperation!

The Lost and Found bins on campus are overflowing. Students, please check for lost items before they are donated to Goodwill on April 29.
