Lamplighter Loves the 90s | Auction 2025

FROM YOUR HEAD OF SCHOOL

Lamplighter Loves the 90s!

Welcome to the LPA Auction, a time when our community gathers to celebrate and support Lamplighter.

What fun it will be to celebrate with all of you at this special event. This year’s Auction proceeds benefit the LPA Faculty Salary Support Endowed Fund. Growing Lamplighter’s endowment creates annual support to ensure Lamplighter’s faculty compensation is competitive. The support of the Auction this year contributes to the School’s ability to attract and retain the best teachers, and makes a lasting impact on Lamplighter’s future.

Under the leadership of LPA President Barrell Jones, the Auction Committee has embraced the 90s! Auction Co-Chairs Carson Castellaw and Abby Hoak-Morton, along with Event Chair Leah Sultan and dozens of other volunteers, will transform the House of Blues into a fun space for us to gather and have the opportunity to bid on incredible items and experiences while enjoying time together.

I thank you for your donations, ticket purchases, and bids to support our teachers now, and for years to come.

In Lamplighter Spirit,

Joan Buchanan Hill, Ed.D.

Catherine M. Rose Head of School

This year, we’re especially thankful for the dedication of our incredible Lamplighter Auction Team. Each team member truly went above and beyond, taking on every task with enthusiasm and a “jump in and help” attitude. From brainstorming wild ideas to putting in countless hours of work, each team member gave their all, and they did it all with a smile. No job was too small or too big — just a genuine spirit of collaboration and community. We are so grateful to have had such an incredible group of parents making this event happen!

We’d also like to express our thanks to Dr. Joan Buchanan Hill for her outstanding leadership, unwavering support, and invaluable guidance. Your vision and commitment are the foundation that makes this event possible year after year.

A very special thank you to Christine Heskes, our true MVP, for her countless hours of support, endless phone calls, and everything she does to ensure the entire Auction effort is a success. Her dedication and hard work are beyond measure and we are so grateful for her tireless effort and commitment to being a part of our team.

Last but not least, we of course want to give a huge thank you to our fearless leader, Barrell Jones, LPA President! From attending every meeting to answering our millions of questions and supporting our craziest ideas, Barrell’s commitment and support have been indispensable. She’s been a guiding force throughout this entire process, and we couldn’t have done it without her!

As we gear up for this exciting night, we can’t help but feel the anticipation and joy that’s building within our team and the greater Lamplighter community. It’s going to be an evening to celebrate Lamplighter’s amazing history, connect with old friends, make new memories, and look ahead to the bright future we’re all creating together.

Montana

FOUR-NIGHT MONTANA FLY FISHING TRIP AT CLYDE PARK

Escape to Yellowstone and experience the beauty of Montana with a fournight stay on a breathtaking 25-acre ranch in Clyde Park in September or October 2025. Nestled along 2/3 of a mile of private Shields River access, this property offers the perfect mix of outdoor adventure and serene relaxation. The ranch accommodates 10 guests, featuring a recently updated main house with three bedrooms and 3.5 baths, as well as a bunkhouse with its own bath and sauna and a one-bedroom, one-bath guest cabin with a kitchenette.

This unique trip includes two guided fly-fishing experiences: a one-day float trip on the Yellowstone River for three guests and a guided wading day for four guests on the Shields River, a private-access gem renowned for its brown trout. Enjoy the rest of your time in Montana at your leisure, kayaking or fishing the stocked ponds on the property, hiking on nearby state lands, fishing blue ribbon rivers, exploring neighboring towns, horseback riding, or taking a day trip to Yellowstone National Park (about 80 miles south).

The ranch is home to a variety of resident birds, including turkeys, geese, ducks, and chickens, cared for daily by the ranch managers. Guests are welcome to join in feeding the animals and may even spot local wildlife just outside the front door. Clyde Park, only minutes away by car, provides convenient access to coffee, groceries, and local bars. For more dining and shopping options, Livingston is a 25-minute drive, while Bozeman, with its direct flights from Dallas-Fort Worth, is just 45 miles from the property.

Teacher’s Favorite Classic Tales for Children

Each Early Childhood class has a 90s-themed “class pet” and accompanying picture book that visited your homes this winter. Students loved and hugged these cuddly creatures while introducing them to their families, taking them along on after-school activities, eating a snack, or reading a book or two at bedtime. As their adventures draw to a close, these sweet friends need a “furever” home.

Make your child’s day by bringing home his or her class pet so they can share many more adventures together — imagined and otherwise! Winning bidder receives the class pet and picture book. Dr. Hill, Mrs. Mullens, Ms. Breihan, Ms. Corley, Ms. Doward, Mrs. Moore, Maestra Ruiz, and Ms. Stout also have Class Pets up for bid!
