10 WAYS TO HELP YOUR KID GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP 

Parents know firsthand the impact a poor night's sleep has on kids. Lack of sleep can contribute to crankiness, problems with attention and learning, behavior issues, and even health problems such as obesity. Though the reasons for poor sleep vary, many parents worry that media and technology interfere with bedtime routines and sleep.

Basketball will travel to Orange County to face off against Capistrano Valley Christian at 7PM, while soccer will play away and challenge Newbury Park Adventist for a 3PM kickoff. GO OWLS!!!

 

The Girl's Soccer team ended their season on Thursday in an exciting match against Webb School. Coach Shertzer said, "We were down 3-0 with five minutes left. Phoebe Madsen '16 had a long throw to Kelly Bickett '18 who scored on a header. Then two minutes later, Kelly Bickett scored on a free kick." He continued, "We pressed in the last few minutes of the game, but couldn't find an equalizer."  Congratulations to the girls on a successful season and the Condor League Championship! "Today was an exciting end to a game and showed the kind of spirit that this team has had all year," added Coach Shertzer.

THIRD GRADERS TRAVEL TO LEGOLAND COMPETITION THIS WEEKEND!

 

Three teams of Laguna third graders will head down to LEGOLAND this Saturday, February 20 to participate in the Jr. FIRST® ("For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology") LEGO® League Expo. Each team has been working hard during their after school club to create a model and display board for the Expo.

The event's theme this season is Waste-Wise. Each team was challenged to (1) choose a piece of trash that they might throw away and choose a specific item that is either disposable, recyclable, or reusable, 2) learn what happens to that piece of trash after they're done with it, and (3) show what they learned through a LEGO® model that has a movable part using a simple machine, and a Show Me poster to display at the EXPO.

According to their LEGO League Coaches Ms. Svedlund and Miss O'Connor, the teams are looking forward to enjoying the big LEGOLAND adventure this weekend. At the Expo they will meet with reviewers who will evaluate their LEGO models, they will view models made by other Southern California teams, and participate in a High Five ceremony. Afterward, the team members will celebrate their hard work by enjoying LEGOLAND!
