Support Lagunitas 8th Graders’ Civil Rights Journey
Help Our 8th Graders Walk the Path of History
At Lagunitas, learning goes beyond the classroom. Each spring, our 8th graders follow the Civil Rights Trail through the American South—visiting the landmarks where history was made.
They raise the money themselves through fundraisers and local outreach, learning responsibility, teamwork, and the power of community. Now, they need your support to help make it happen.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
