NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
 
Dear Parents,

 

The holiday season is a whirlwind of festivities and requests for participation and donations. I have always found this community incredibly thoughtful and generous, but even more so now that times are so tight. Thank you for all you do to help our own families and those of our sister schools. Recently, Tonalea and Vista Del Camino benefited from the Turkey Trot food donations. You fed over 100 families! Recently, you cleaned your closets and donated clothing to Pima children. You clothed over 300 students! Now you are sending in toys for children who are confined to a hospital during the holidays. I can only imagine how many smiles you will generate with these contributions. Thank you Laguna families for your support, your generosity and 

your kind hearts. YOU make a difference!

 

With much gratitude,
 

Katie

Dr. Kathleen S. Root, Principal
