One of Laguna's favorite events, The Soapbox Derby, made a triumphant return to the Hope Ranch campus yesterday! Eleven team-made vehicles raced down a quarter-mile slope of Paloma Drive in a thrilling showcase of quirky engineering and bravery. Bravo to these students who thought outside of the box, applying their knowledge in new and creative ways! Special thank you to Mr. Pagano for orchestrating such an entertaining event.

"I am amazed by the ingenuity and creativity shown by these racers today," event organizer John Pagano says. "They took a bunch of stuff that was headed for the dump and created some wildly fast derby cars. Everyone was safe, and there were no serious injuries beyond a scratch or scrape."

WAY TO GO!
