A LETTER FROM OUR LAGUNA FUND 2024-25 CO-CHAIRS

Welcome back, Laguna Families!

 

We are excited to serve as Co-Chairs of the 2024-2025 Laguna Fund. This annual fund is vital in providing the exceptional education and opportunities that help our children and our entire Laguna Blanca community thrive together.  


If you’re a new family to LBS or just eager to learn more about the Laguna Fund, please click here. Meanwhile, a team of volunteers representing each class is already working hard, and more information will be mailed home soon. This mailing will include information about this year’s Family Festival, our annual celebration of the Laguna Fund. Leadership pledges and gifts of $2,500+ received by the end of day on October 4 will be recognized on the commemorative t-shirt worn by all students, staff, and volunteers at the Family Festival on Friday, October 18. That deadline is just a few weeks away, so please make your gift or pledge now to secure your place on the 2024 t-shirt!

 

Every gift makes a difference, and participation is a key component to the Laguna Fund's success. Please join us in supporting Laguna Blanca School and help ensure our students continue to benefit from the educational excellence and supportive community that Laguna Blanca provides.

 

With gratitude,

 

Elizabeth Foscue-Boyd & Henning Thorsen 

2024-2025 Laguna Fund Co-Chairs

LAGUNA BLANCA TAKES DOWN BISHOP DIEGO, 12-6

Laguna Blanca girls tennis pulled out a 12-6 victory over Bishop Diego on Tuesday in a matchup of local squads.


The Owls were led by the singles performance of Caroline Kenny '25, who went 3-0 in her matches while losing just two total games. Hali Wight '28 also won her first singles matchup.


“Caroline showed she excels at the delicate balance of playing one’s best at all levels of competition,” Laguna Blanca Coach Daisy Carlson said.


The Laguna Blanca duos of Tatiana Taylor '27/Stella Frank '28 and Evie Comis '26/Dakota Risley '26 flexed their muscles as well with two dominant victories each in doubles play.
