CALIFORNIA COASTAL CLEANUP SUCCESS! |
|
Hooray for California Coastal Cleanup Day!
45 participants (34 adults, 11 children under 12) picked up 54 pounds of trash and seven pounds of recycling from Miramar/Hammonds Beach last Saturday, September 18. 70% of participants brought buckets and/or gloves from home- way to go! That is community service at its best!
By far, the item collected most was tiny bits of Styrofoam. The ‘runner-up’ was pieces of plastic such as caps/lids, straws/stirrers, plastic food wrappers, and plastic bag bits. The third most common item was cigarette filters.
Thank you to the following Laguna Blanca School participants and their families for making our coast cleaner:

With all of the learning and playing that your child enjoys at Lower School, be sure that they start each day with a nutritious breakfast and come to school with healthy and hearty snacks and lunches. Hot, delivered lunches may be purchased through Locally Grown Kids. Check the MyLaguna Resource page for sign-up instructions. Water bottles are essential! Send one (labeled) each day to school with your child. Remind your child to drink water constantly throughout the day, and we will, too. Here’s to safe, happy, and healthy days at Lower School! |

"Getting Ready for the College Search"
Wednesday, October 6 (6-7PM)
via Zoom
Eleventh Grade Parents are invited to join the College Counseling office on the evening of October 6 for a special Zoom program, which will outline Laguna's process for juniors and address any questions you may have.
Topics that will be covered include:
- SAT/ACT: How do I best prepare? Are these tests going away?
- GPAs, Schedule Strength, Activities, and Volunteering: what matters most to colleges?
- How to Use the Summer
- Building a Tentative College List
- Do I need an outside college counselor?
Joining us on October 6 will be a panel of college admissions officers—the very people who read Laguna’s applications each year. Most of the program will feature your questions, so please let us know what’s on your mind!
We hope to see you there!

PRACTICE ACT AND SAT TEST OPPORTUNITIES COMING WITH REVOLUTION PREP |
|
In the new era of test-optional and test-blind admission, does it still make sense to prepare for the SAT or ACT? Laguna thinks so. Finding which test is right for you and preparing for at least a year could still pay dividends, whether in admission, scholarships, entry to special programs, or perhaps some combination of all three. We’ve partnered with Revolution Prep to offer free diagnostic/practice testing to all Laguna students. Each practice test will take place online.
