FLASH BACK FRIDAY TO LAST WEEK'S JOGATHON & HOMECOMING WEEKEND
Thanks to everyone's incredible support and the fierce tenacity of our runners, Jogathon and Homecoming 2015 was a huge success! On Friday, our young athletes ran 495 miles, completing 4,024 laps -- raising more than $100,000 for Laguna's athletic and physical education programs. On Saturday, the students swept homecoming day with victories across the board! We couldn't have dreamed up a better way to celebrate the Owls return home!

Special thanks to our Jogathon Event Chairs Raychel Muenke and Erika Ronchietto and their team of committed volunteers, for their dedication and leadership! Together, they created a wonderful community celebration enjoyed by all.

LAGUNA ALUM AIJA MAYROCK '14 SPEAKS OUT AGAINST BULLYING

 

Congratulations to former Laguna student Aija Mayrock on the publishing of her book, The Survival Guide to Bullying. The book was largely inspired by her experience of being relentlessly bullied as a child when living in New York.

Now a student at NYU, Aija stopped by The View this week to speak out against bullying and share her new book with viewers.

Laguna is so proud of you, Aija--for moving past your difficulties and providing hope to those who need it most.
