Dear Lafayette Community,
I left last night's fundraising gala with such gratitude for our amazing community. When the dark clouds gather over our school, we Dolphins bring our own light!
Tomorrow, don't forget...
It's the PINK WAVE!
Why should everyone wear pink?
The pink wave started in Nova Scotia when two students saw a boy getting bullied for wearing pink. They started the pink wave, a day where everyone wears pink to stand up to bullying.

Music, Art and Adventure Camp
|
Parent Cindy Lee wanted to share this camp recommendation. She says, "We have had a great time with her and just wanted to share in case people wanted another option for music."
Spend the summer with Music, Art & Adventure! We are a small, locally-owned day camp that meets in the Presidio, run by local musician/ecologist Emily Shumway and her husband, Harlan Hays, a San Francisco native and opera singer.
Music, Art and Adventure is 100% outdoors in the fresh, foggy air and we like it that way. At camp, we get to know the local ecology through science, arts & crafts, music, games, and play.
Campers spend their days exploring places like Baker Beach, El Polin Spring, Crissy Field and Inspiration Point.
Other exciting events include field trips, guest artists, camp-wide olympics, and more.
2025 Sessions:
July 14-July 18
July 21-25
July 28-August 1
August 4-8
August 11-15
