Dog Days
❑ PHOTO OF THE WEEK | High Tides and Good Vibes: Full of cobblestone and reefs, this beautiful beach is home to the surfers. Topanga state beach is the best surfing spot for people that live in the Topanga/Calabasas area. With its hidden view from the highway not many people know about this spot, which allows for a better chance to catch a wave.

Our Goal
LAUSD's budget leaves the award-winning journalism program at Van Nuys High School with a $0 budget in the upcoming school year. Without YOUR support, The Mirror cannot cover its expenses, hurting students directly and putting something that took years to build at genuine risk of falling behind.
Please consider making a donation to cover other VNHS journalism program expenses this school year
