Connections is Lab’s biennial gala fundraiser—an over 30 year tradition that brings together parents, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, faculty, and staff to celebrate and support the Schools' mission. Connections promises to be an elegant evening of community that will include dinner, dancing, and entertainment.

This event will help underwrite need-based financial aid at the Laboratory Schools. 

We hope you can join us and/or support this student financial aid benefit.
