Met another family today that is looking to move to Lafayette, Moraga, or Orinda. They read the article in Forbes from May describing how Moraga was the best town in the Bay Area for great schools and good value on a home. They aren't telling any of us anything we don't already know. I have been on the fundraising board of the Orinda schools for the past eight years, and learning first hand how we continue to have the best schools anywhere has been very rewarding.
