It's our first year, so some may take issue with our overwhelming positivity, but we are thrilled to be a part of the Lanai family. From Ms Alas, Ms Manalos, Coach PJ to Robbie, Jane, Ms Elan and all of admins and the amount if parent involvement, the enrichment, it goes on and on... we are just so...
