Gina’s Pizza gets students’ vote

Gina’s Pizza & Pastaria received the top tribute as this year’s

DARTS business award honoree for a local business that students

patronize and appreciate.

which is in its second year, is a Laguna Beach High School committee

comprised of two student representatives from each class, and Supt.

Theresa Daem, executive assistant to Supt. Darrin J. Reed, ASB

Vice-President Brent Kling, and faculty advisor Art Smart.

During an April school wide election sponsored by DARTS, Gina’s

Pizza & Pastaria was voted the most “appreciated” business. The

restaurant will be recognized at the May 24th Board of Education

meeting and at a LBHS pep assembly on June 2.

The four other businesses receiving the most votes by the student

body were: San Shi Go, Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt, Hobie Sports, and
