Thank You From the HSA

Jun 11, 2026

The Lafayette community is special for countless reasons, but what stands – year after year – is the willingness of so many to give so much of their time, energy, and creativity. Together, we:

  • Filled 50+ board and committee positions, with special appreciation for our fearless, tireless President Maggie Walser
  • Matched 100+ room parents to nearly 40 classrooms, under the incomparable leadership of Mallory Parets and Katie Dowd
  • Gave nearly $10K to honor our beloved Mr. Benab, led by fundraiser-extraordinaire Ellett Toomey
  • Raised $150K for Bear Fund, netted $100K at auction, and sold tons of Grizzly Gear, enabling school community-building and enrichment for years to come
  • And so much more

With deep gratitude to all, especially our outgoing board member (Karmia Lewis), committee chairs (Emily Azfal and Katie Boehret) and super volunteer (Dana Childress).
