LA DOLCE VITA

La Scuola’s annual Spring gala and fundraiser, La Dolce Vita, was a night to remember as we celebrated in style amongst the gilded glamour of the Hibernia. This year we honored our 20th anniversary in roaring 20s fashion, all while raising much-needed funds for our school. We celebrated our past twenty years and how much we’ve grown, while embracing our bright future of the next twenty years and beyond.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our parents, friends, faculty, staff, and community members, we raised over $640,000 - a new La Scuola record! $325,000 of this total was raised specifically for our Sliding Scale Tuition program, which helps keep La Scuola as accessible as possible to as many families as possible. Every dollar raised at La Dolce Vita is essential, also supporting our unique special programs and ateliers, including Art, Music,

Design, and Environmental Studies — our extraordinary arts and sciences that are at the core of a La Scuola education.

It takes a village to put on such a memorable event! This year’s gala would truly not have been possible without the time and commitment of our fantastic and passionate LDV Committee, including Co-Chairs Helen Jones and Lorraine Mulvihill, and committee members Clara Azulay, Kelsey McNellis, Melissa Stephens, and Caroline West, in addition to all of the wonderful parent volunteers who helped to make our fundraiser a success.

A heartfelt grazie di cuore to our La Scuola Community of parents, alumni parents, friends, sponsors of the school, the La Scuola Board of Directors, the Italian Consulate of San Francisco, and the Italian-American community for donating your time and talent in support of La Scuola. Together, we make a great impact on La Scuola and in our community, and we couldn’t do it without your generosity!
