Laguna Receives Educational Grant
November 17, 2008
Thank you Exxon-Mobil! Everyone knows how outstanding our extracurricular programs are here at Laguna- and they are free to all students! Why? Because businesses like Exxon-Mobil support educational programs through a sponsorship of community grants. This year, the Mobil on the Run at Mountain View and Via Linda has given Laguna a $500 grant! Please stop in and say thank you to the managers- let them know how much we appreciate their support of our children and their education!

Geography Bee
Fourth grader from Mrs. Drago’s class, Sam Nalli, won the school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee on January 14, 2009 and is one step closer to a $25,000 scholarship. Placing second was Tyler Taffuri from Mrs. Quintana’s fifth grade class, and third place went to Natalie Caryl from Mrs. Quisberg’s fifth grade class. The school-level Bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the 21st annual National Geographic Bee. The school winner, Sam Nalli, will now take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers in the written exam from each state will be eligible to compete in their state Bee on April 3, 2009. We wish Sam the very best in his next step. Congratulations to all representatives who did an outstanding job in a very difficult competition!
