La Fête du Printemps-Spring Party (formerly known as the spring gala) is an annual tradition at LNFI. It's a great chance to get out and socialize in a casual, adult-only setting with other families and friends at the school, interact with the teachers and interns, enjoy some food, beverages, and entertainment, and win some fabulous prizes! The annual spring event is one of the main fundraisers for the intern program as well as other enrichment programs at LNFI.

Fundraising activities At the Event
Classroom Art: Art created by LNFI students. Each class will create a piece of art that will be featured in our silent auction. Students are always super excited about their creations and the possibility of being the kid who gets to bring it home. Previous artworks have ranged from mosaic items to tablecloths to thumb print art to photo collages. These items are always our most valued treasures so make sure you don't miss out on the chance to bid on them! To view artwork, click HERE.
Great Teacher-Student Gatherings: Fun activities hosted by LNFI teachers for students outside of school hours. Parents purchase a spot for their child to “hang out” with current, former, or future teachers. A certain number of spots are designated for the gatherings, which in the past have included monster-making crafts, flag football, scrapbooking, etc. Once the spots are filled, the event is "closed."

General Silent Auction (NEWLY ADDED!): We are so thrilled with the number of raffle donations we've received that we decided to include a general silent auction at the Spring Party! To view the General Silent Auction packages, click HERE. |
Great Gatherings: Opportunities to socialize with other LNFI parents and families throughout the year. You purchase a spot at unique events donated by the LNFI community. There are events for kids, families, and adults. In the past they have ranged from movie nights to cooking classes to French lessons to champagne breakfasts. Once the spots are filled, the event is "closed." Each spot usually sells for $20-$40. To view a list of this year's Great Gatherings, click HERE.
