This week, we welcomed Daniel Reisman '14, who returns to our school community as our new Main Office Coordinator.

LAGUNA HELPS COLLECT 150 POUNDS OF TRASH AND RECYCLABLES
In late September, an incredible team of local volunteers, including Laguna students and faculty, undertook a clean-up operation along a one-mile stretch of Butterfly Beach as part of California Coastal Clean-up Day. We extend our gratitude to parent Allison Grisham, who organized Laguna's participation in this event. Some of the most unusual items collected included a game console, a bike frame, and a shopping cart!

INDIGENOUS PEOPLE'S DAY
Next Monday, October 9, we recognize the Indigenous Peoples who have been stewards of the land we call home for countless generations. We acknowledge the Chumash people, their wise elders, their future generations, as well as their traditional land. Recognizing this is an important, yet small, way to show our appreciation. To learn and grow, let's share stories (such as those featured here) about Indigenous Peoples, and celebrate their traditions, achievements, and rich culture.
