CREATING A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

As the world pulls back the veil on the importance of clean energy, our future increasingly depends on bold leaders willing to make sustainability their life’s work. Sarah Brinker ’04 is one of those leaders. She is paving the way to a brighter and more sustainable future for all of us—and has been for years! As a former fundraiser for Sierra Club’s famous Beyond Coal Campaign, she witnessed the potentially vital role clean energy can play in replacing coal power plants and other dirty energy forms. “If we focus on clean energy deployment and innovation, we have a shot at arresting climate change,” she says. Now she has turned her attention to a new project, RE-volv, a startup that is changing the very face of the clean energy revolution.

This spring while home from the Bay Area, Sarah visited her alma mater and caught up with former science instructor Landon Neustadt.

KIDS' SUMMER

MOVIE GUIDE

When the kids aren't bingeing on screen time, swimming, or (hopefully) playing outside this summer, chances are they'll be clamoring to see one of the season's big movies. But it can be hard to decide which of the big-budget sequels, superhero stories, and much-hyped animated adventures you and your kids are most likely to love!

TEXTBOOK BUYBACK & RENTAL CHECK-IN EVENT
THURSDAY 6/9 & FRIDAY 6/10
8:00AM - 3:00PM
NINTH GRADE COURTYARD

Books have the most value when they will be used again next year at our school or at schools across the country. This is the best time of year to sell textbooks because demand is highest.

Reminder: Any books rented from the bookstore are due by June 10, 2016. You can check-in these books in-person at the buyback event, or log into your bookstore rental account at www.lagunablanca.bkstr.com, print a label and return by mail.

The booklist for next fall will be posted over the summer. Let the bookstore keep an eye on the calendar for you! Sign up at www.lagunablanca.bkstr.com/email for an email reminder alerting you of when the booklist becomes available.
