Congratulations to Lafayette artists: Remi Adams, Dylan Eakes, Josie Hereth, Berkeley Hanna, Henry Kusowski, Robin Leon, Keira Malone, Francis Meredith, Emily Mollicone, Caroline Tiger-Gross, Letizia Warner, and Lily Wolin on their Reflections submissions! We appreciate all of the submissions this year!
We wanted to send a reminder that the only non-faculty adults who should be in the building during school hours are those who are volunteering.
If you are volunteering, please make sure to enter from the front of the school so that you can sign in at the office. Ultimately, your child’s safety is our biggest priority, and this can help us make sure everyone they interact with when they’re here is an approved adult.
Our promo code FUNDRAISELAFAYETTE is now valid all year and can be applied towards ALL Minted cards and gifts, including graduation & birth announcements, party & event invitations, personalized stationery, custom gifts, and more!

We are still searching for parents interested in coaching and volunteering for Ultimate. We had a third-grade team last year but are planning to expand to have a third, fourth, and fifth grade team. We are aware of considerable interest this year and are looking for additional coaches.
