February 26, 2022 Welcome to the 2022 Lausanne Auction: Totally Awesome 80s Prom! For the second time in the school’s history, we are hosting a completely virtual live event. Time and time again, Lausanne proves to be a totally awesome place. Our students, our faculty and staff, our parents and our entire community show up every day to help create a school unlike any other. Each year, auction proceeds fund crucial school enhancements not covered by tuition. This year, proceeds will benefit our faculty through the Faculty Fund for Financial Aid and the Faculty Fund for Professional Development and also the greater Memphis community through LynxServe. In addition, this year’s Fund-ANeed will allow us to refurbish our turf and grass fields, two central gathering spaces for all students. Thanks in no small part to the phenomenal support of our community partners, the 2022 Lausanne Auction is already off to an impressive start! Successful auctions are the result of true team effort. We offer our sincerest thanks to the Lausanne Parent Connections Auction Committee, Divisional Coordinators and Grade Representatives. For months, I have watched these volunteers work long hours in an effort to help make this year’s event a success. As you browse, bid and buy - all while enjoying your Totally Awesome Party Packs - from the comfort of your home, please take a moment to thank those who have made this beloved annual event possible. View a full list of volunteers and committee members on page 5. We truly hope you enjoy this year’s virtual experience, knowing your participation will help shape and inspire our current community of students and that of generations to come.
Thank you for going ALL IN – for our students, for our faculty, for Lausanne! Cheers,
Stuart McCathie Headmaster
