This Saturday, September 20, from 9 a.m. to Noon is California Coastal Cleanup Day.
This is the fifth year that Laguna Blanca School will be represented at Miramar/Hammonds Beach!
*************************************************************************************************************
Here are the steps that those who participate need to take:
1. To get to this beach:
• Take the San Ysidro Road exit from the 101 – head towards the beach. I will have a table set up at the stairs there for volunteers to check in. We are starting at Miramar Beach and we will be cleaning the beach to the right to Hammonds and to the left out to Fernalds.
• Parking:
All Saints-by-the-Sea (83 Eucalyptus Lane) is kind enough to let us use their parking lot for this event. Look for the CA Coastal Cleanup Day sign by the office parking lot, on the right side of Eucalyptus Lane. Overflow parking from there would be next to the Parish school on the left side of Eucalyptus. Otherwise, walking or biking to the site is encouraged. Limited street parking is available.
2. Check in at the table:
• When you check in at the cleanup location, you will be given a pencil and a special data card to tally the items you collect.
• Just check back in at the table when you’re done- we’ll weigh the trash and recycling and finish completing your data card.
3. Sign the waiver form (if under 18, it needs to be signed by a parent/guardian).
• Sign the waiver form on site on Saturday. Unless you’re under 18 and don’t have a parent with you, you can sign the waiver form here.
4. WHAT TO BRING:
• Wear sunscreen, close-toed shoes, and a hat. Please wear your LagunaWear!
• Bring Your Own (BYO) bucket or reusable bag, glove(s), and reusable water bottle. Help us cut down our waste.
• Student volunteers under 18 must bring a signed waiver with a parent or guardian signature. Parents with children with them can sign the waiver at the beach.
PLEASE NOTE: High tide (+4.47 feet) at 8:47 AM, so arriving on the later side is a good idea.

Let’s make this year’s event even more successful… See you at the beach!
