There’s no doubt about it, our February 13th, 2026 Lumen Luau was a Tropical Triumph!
From the sea of floral shirts to the spirited bidding during the live auction, the energy in the room was electric. Whether you were a donor, high bidder, volunteer, or a guest who brought the “Aloha” spirit to our school—you made this possible.
Thanks to all, we raised a record $252,000 which will be used to support our new exterior classroom project, student scholarships and general school operating needs.
Because an event this size takes a whole “ohana” (family) to make possible, special shout outs are in order for:
Our Island Partners (Sponsors): Kuchar Construction; Alaska Cyberknife Center; Lake Otis Optical; C+L Creative; Koots; MARSH; Alaska Premier Auction and Appraisals; Brown’s Electric; Superman Moving; Farina’s Restaurant Supply.
-
The Luau Crew: Joscelyn VanDuren, Carla Blackford-Esary, Kara Moore (Procurement); Jennifer Starck, Shareen Crosby (Decorations); Camille Rzeszut, Tracy Ross, Yvette Tousignant (Silent Auction, Night of Coordination); Ryan Stanley (Logistics); Anne Gore (Overall Coordination.) Thanks to these individuals as well as for the parents who helped out before, during and after the event. Your tireless hours of decorating, serving, setting up and tearing down was invaluable.
-
Our Generous Donors: Every item, every bid placed, every dessert dashed for and “Fund-a-Need” paddle raised – THANK YOU.
Mahalo one and all for Believing in Our Students!
We are so grateful to have a community that rallies together to support the bright futures of our Archangels. Enjoy these photos from the event and we hope to see you at our next one on February 5, 2027 – it going to be a lively FEBRUARY FIESTA!
