La Fête du Printemps-Spring Party is an annual tradition at LNFI. This year's event will be a casual night. However, it's still a great chance to get out and socialize in an adult-only setting with other families and friends at the school, interact with the teachers, enjoy some food, beverages, and entertainment, and win some fabulous prizes! The annual spring event is one of the biggest fundraisers for programs at LNFI.

Fundraising activities At the Event
Great Gatherings: A Great Gathering is a fun event-a movie night, dinner, pool party—that a host (teachers, LNFI families, etc.) plans and LNFI families pay to attend. These are a great way to socialize with other LNFI parents, students, and families throughout the year. There are events for kids, families, and adults. Once the spots are filled, the event is "closed." To view a list of this year's family-hosted Great Gatherings, click HERE. Teacher-hosted Great Gatherings, click HERE.

General Silent Auction: This year's selection of Silent Auction items ranges from roller skating passes to a monthly growler refill at a local tap room, to a doggie overnight stay!

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! Click HERE to view the finished products!
General Raffle: Raffle tickets will be sold at the event for $1. Liquor prizes will be raffled off every 45 minutes. There will also be a teacher raffle drawing at 9 p.m. You can purchase tickets in your teacher's name to enter them in the drawing. By MN law, you cannot purchase raffle tickets with credit cards, so make sure to bring cash!
