Lanai Weekly: March 14, 2016
/Principal’s Message:
Dear Parents,
Thank you for attending the Gala and supporting Lanai! On behalf of the staff I would like to express our sincerest appreciation for your generosity with supporting educational programs at Lanai. We could not have all of the extra experiences for our students without your help. It was a fun evening breaking bread together and dancing. I especially loved the high energy during the auction!
A special thank you goes to the many people that worked together to host the gala: Michelle Siembieda, Katie Elinoff, Vanessa Shellow, Kelly Gavin, Jodi Cohen, Ozzie Osborne, Alisa Lippman, Michelle Douek, Anita Baron, Matt Glave, Amy and Matt Winston, Anne Elder, Heather Goodfried, Jody Ramirez, Robbie Solomon, Evan and Robin Warner, Nicole and Mark Shah, Richard Russakoff, Brooke Jung, Lisa Edley, Jen Ruderman, Shanna, DJ Viola and many more!
I hope you all have a wonderful Spring Break! See you Tuesday, March 29th.
Mr. Hansen

We set the example for our students so let’s keep our Parent Center beautiful!
