INTRODUCING THE 2022-23 LAGUNA FUND |
|
The Laguna Fund is Laguna Blanca's Annual Fund. It is the backbone of our school’s philanthropic effort and runs every year from July 1 to June 30. Laguna Fund gifts are unrestricted and support all aspects of education at our two campuses.
Now is the time to go ALL IN!
Annual Fund giving starts in the fall and is celebrated at our Family Festival. This event brings together our entire community and allows us to show the true spirit of Laguna and exactly what your unrestricted dollars support, both in and out of the classroom. Early support from our current and past families, faculty and staff, board of trustees, and alumni is crucial in preserving Laguna’s legacy. It allows us to navigate the future of our school and provide an exceptional education for generations to come.
Please join us now and go ALL IN for Laguna Blanca!

However, the morning bus service from Hope Ranch to Montecito will run as usual on Friday. |

September is Coastal Cleanup Month! Please plan to join the Laguna community on Miramar/Hammonds Beach for California's Annual Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, September 17! It's a fun way to start the day and will help remove trash and plastic pollution from our beaches. In 2019, over 74,000 volunteers picked up more than 900,000 pounds of trash from beaches and waterways throughout California.
If you can't join us in person, you can participate in a self-guided neighborhood cleanup by picking up trash in your neighborhood, local park, and other areas. Trash from inland areas flows downstream to the coast, so cleaning up neighborhood trash prevents marine debris. Gather cleanup supplies from home, download the CleanSwell app (to count your trash, and to have your trash counted!), and clean on your own time throughout September.
See you at the beach!
