SUMMER 2014     

29  

In May, the school held an end-of-year celebration for parents who 
had gone above and beyond to make Laguna an even better, stronger, 
more inspiring school. Parents were showered with praise, lunch, 
and pampering body butter as a thank you for their hard work and 
dedication. Parent Volunteers of the year (above) were honored for
giving generously of their time and spirit; we are eternally grateful for
their contributions to our children and campus.
    Laguna extends an extra heartfelt thank you to all of the many
parents who have made our school such a special place!

their flower girl.For their honeymoon,
the two set off for Italy, France, and 
Sweden, where Blake was also able

family members.
 
Lots of Love to Laguna’s Assistant to

ceremony overlooking the ocean in 
Avila Beach. The couple included a 
favorite pastime—hiking—into the
ceremony, as they (wedding officiant 

and photographer included!) hiked 
to the wedding spot. Dana and T.J. 
enjoyed a short honeymoon weekend 
at Sycamore Springs Resort in Avila 
Beach and plan to travel to Italy next 
summer.
 
Best wishes to Third Grade Instructor 
Brooke Cummings (lower right) and 
new husband, Allan Green, who 
married on July 25 at Plantation
Gardens in gorgeous Poipu, Kauai. 
Twenty-six friends and family 
members traveled from as far as 
Long Island, NY to be at the wedding. 
The newlyweds enjoyed lots of island 
adventures in Princeville, Kauai, 
including zip-lining and kayaking. 
The couple is now busy juggling their 
three children Angelina (9), Jack (14), 
and Ryder (9).
