A THANK YOU FROM
HEAD OF SCHOOL ROB HEREFORD
|
|
|
I would
like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to parent and alumnus Dave
Bradley ’99 for organizing another successful community
event—the Laguna Blanca Ace Angeloff Golf Classic. Five years ago
while serving as the Alumni Council President, Dave created this
event to enhance alumni connections with the school. Each year
since, Dave has volunteered to serve as the event chair and has
grown the event to now include an important fundraising component
to support our school's financial aid program.
On Monday, nearly 80 golfers—parents,
grandparents, and alumni—gathered at La Cumbre Country Club for a
fun-filled day of golf and raised over $10,000 for Laguna’s
Alumni Scholarship Program. Many thanks to all the players and
sponsors who continue to give back to the Laguna community and
support our students today.

MADDY NICOLSON NAMED FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
|
|
BY NOOZHAWK.COM
Maddy Nicolson '16 of the
Laguna Blanca girls volleyball team was honored Monday, November 7
as the Female Athlete of the Week at the Santa Barbara Athletic
Round Table press luncheon.
Nicolson was a hitting force on the outside for
Laguna Blanca in its second-round and quarterfinal-round wins in
the CIF-SS Division 6 volleyball playoffs. The senior posted a
double-double of 15 kills and 23 digs in a sweep over Pioneer and
pounded a team-high 17 kills in a quarterfinal victory at Hemet.
In the team's final game at CIF Semifinals, Nicolson ended with
12 kills and 30 digs.

OWLS WRAP UP THEIR TRIUMPHANT
SEASON IN CIF SEMIFINAL MATCH
|
|
|
BY NOOZHAWK.COM
Top-seeded Laguna Blanca was right where it wanted
to be: ahead two games to none and dominating play in the CIF-Southern
Section Division 6 girls volleyball semifinal match at home.
Then Tesa Oaks and the Riverside-Woodcrest
Christian Royals caught fire. And Laguna Blanca couldn’t
extinguish them. Oaks put away a whopping 39 kills and Woodcrest Christian
played tremendous defense to score a stunning comeback victory at
Merovick Gym and advance to the championship. The scores were
11-25, 19-25, 25-18, 25-21, 15-9.
“Whatever it is about them, we were in complete
control and I don’t think we were overconfident by any stretch of
the imagination,” Laguna Blanca coach Jason Donnelly said. “They
started playing a little bit better and we were unable to adjust.
Unfortunately in sports, as I told the kids, it happens. They got
on a roll and we weren’t able to counter that.” READ MORE

2016 FOSTER CARE HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE
|
|
|
Two of
Laguna Blanca's core values are "Community" and
"Character." In keeping with those values, we, as a
school, participate in various fundraising efforts throughout the
year to assist people, animals, and organizations in need, both
locally and globally. It is such a joy to see our students give
from the heart and take notice of those less fortunate.
Now in
its seventh year, the Foster Child Holiday Gift Drive remains a
favorite of many on the Hope Ranch campus! There are more than
800 children in the Santa Barbara County foster care system, and
each year LBS does its part to make the holiday season a little
brighter for many of these children without permanent
homes.
This
year, the Dept. of Social Services turned their holiday gift
program over to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). A
representative from CASA gave us a supply of "wish
lists" from children (infants to teens) who are living with
foster families or in foster care group homes. Requests include
items such as clothes, toys, sports equipment, and gift cards. Also
included is the child's name, age, size, and suggested gift
ideas. Wish lists were offered to students at their
advisory meetings (there is no obligation to participate). Should
your child bring one home and you choose not to participate,
simply return the list to Anna Alldredge as soon as possible.
Gifts
are due on Wednesday, November 30, when
participants bring their unwrapped gifts to Ruston Theater for a special
Gr. 5-12 assembly. CASA representatives will be in attendance at
the assembly and Laguna will hand over the hundreds of gifts
provided by our families, faculty, and staff. It's a most
heartwarming assembly which you are invited to attend!
