Gala in the Garden<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In the spring, more than 225 attendees gathered to honor Los Encinos School at The Garland Hotel in North Hollywood for the annual spring gala we called, Gala in the Garden: Together We Grow<\/em>. Led by gala co-chairs, Andrea Chapelle Levy and Ashley Brown, the evening proved to be a huge success and a beautiful way to come together as a community.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The fundraising initiatives commenced several weeks prior to the event, featuring the highly anticipated Teacher Experiences raffles. We extend our gratitude to the Raffle Committee and to the dedicated group of parents who sold tickets. Our Auction Chair, Anna Hopkins, managed a silent auction that consistently surpassed previous records and expectations. We appreciate the entire auction team and all those who contributed generous donations, ranging from gift cards to invaluable experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The d\u00e9cor team, under the leadership of Lauren Parsly and Daniela Joanides played a crucial role in transforming our vision into a magical secret garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guests were welcomed with themed, specialty cocktails and savored delectable appetizers to start the evening. They were then welcomed through floral and vine gates that opened into an enchanted outdoor ballroom. A heartwarming video that spoke to the power of small<\/em> led to a spirited auction that set the tone for the vibrant evening — including a surprise appearance by a teacher led band, Lost & Found!
