Help put gently used books and sports equipment into the hands of valley children in need.

The Scottsdale Unified School District is teaming up with the National Football League, Arizona Cardinals, Super Bowl XLII Host Committee and the NFL Youth Education Town for a Super Bowl project.  The project, called Super Kids-Super Sharing has been implemented in Super Bowl host communities for the past eight years and has placed tens of thousands of gently-used books and pieces of sports equipment into the hands of children who might not otherwise have access to such items. All types of sports equipment are welcome.

Only two days left – send equipment to the office Tuesday and Wednesday!  

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Fundraiser

Please help the student council in its support of this worthy cause, by sending in loose change with your child.  Donations will be accepted in each classroom from January 28-February 8.  All proceeds will go to Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (parentprojectmd.org) to aid in the search for a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.  Duchenne is a degenerative neuromuscular disorder that affects approximately 1 boy in every 3,000, one of them being Augie Chotkowski, a 5th grade student in Mrs. Quisberg's class here at Laguna.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona and Laguna are sponsoring an ongoing clothing drive.  Place your gently used clothing and shoes in the designated BBBS Clothing Bin in the parking lot.  Your tax deductible contribution supports your school and Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs (receipts mailed upon request).  The school also benefits when you donate because BBBS pays back $1 for every 23 pounds collected.  We are competing with the other Scottsdale Schools to win a $100 cash prize which will be awarded at the end of the year to the highest producing school!
