CA COASTAL CLEANUP DAY
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2015

Please join us on 9/19 from 9AM-Noon!

This is a great community service opportunity to make a beach cleanup an EK-12, faculty, staff, and family event for Laguna Blanca School! Make sure to show your school spirit and sport your LAGUNAWEAR! Laguna Blanca will be represented at Miramar/Hammonds Beach for the sixth year in a row!

 

It's a B.Y.O. event again this year, so please bring your own (B.Y.O.) bag or bucket or something to collect your trash and recyclables in, gardening gloves, and reusable water bottle (LBS is providing 5-gallon jugs of water to share!), to further reduce waste. Wear lots of sunscreen and bring a hat! 

 

Volunteers under 18 who are cleaning the beach without a parent/guardian must bring a signed waiver form with a parent or guardian signature. Parents with children with them can sign the waiver at the beach.
