The extraordinary Lamplighter Parents’ Association Auction is upon us! This is such a special moment for our community, a time when we celebrate and support Lamplighter together. The 2025-2026 school year has been full of impactful moments. This Auction is one of those, and I can’t wait to celebrate with all of you.
OUT OF THIS WORLD:
Little Lights, Big Futures, Infinite Wonder. There is no better theme as I conclude my tenure at The Lamplighter School.
I want to thank LPA President Courtney Hodges and the 2025-2026 LPA Board for prioritizing endowment again this year. Proceeds from the Out of This World Auction benefit the LPA Faculty Salary Support Endowed Fund.
Growing Lamplighter’s endowment has been a longtime goal of mine because a robust endowment allows maximum financial flexibility into the future. Each of you who supports the Auction this year helps Lamplighter remain a leader in attracting and retaining top talent. Teachers make Lamplighter exceptional!
Auction Co-Chairs Shayan Ismail and Leah Sultan, and Event Co-Chairs Lauren Feiler and Nicole Glass have imagined an Out of This World atmosphere at Gilley’s.
The LPA Auction Committee has curated an incredible selection of auction items and experiences.
Thank you for supporting the LPA Auction by attending the gala and Auction Socials, bidding on items, and purchasing ads, birthday boards, and tributes. All of it ensures Lamplighter and the faculty and staff continue to light lamps that light the world.

As their adventures draw to a close, these sweet friends need a “furever” home.
