Dear Lafayette Community,
Every year, the school musical truly blows me away. All of the hard work and love that went into last week's performance of Spamalot really showed. We'll share photos soon, but not this week. For now, thank you to all of the grown-ups who volunteered literally hundreds of hours to make it happen. Our school is truly special because of everyone who gets involved.
Speaking of getting involved (natural segue, yes?): Don't miss the gala this week! All the info to buy your tickets and bid in the online auction (starting tomorrow) is in this email, so let's get into it!
