Please join us for a special gathering co-hosted by Harvard-Westlake parents Kalika Yap and Jenny Li, with President Rick Commons joining as our guest.

While this evening was originally planned with Head of School Laura Ross, it will continue with the heart and care she brings to every part of our community.

We’ve all been through a lot these past months. This event is a chance to spend time together, share in something beautiful, and look toward what’s ahead.

The evening will include:

• Opening remarks from President Rick Commons
• A live calligraphy performance by Aoi Yamaguchi
• A guided Hojicha tea reflection ritual with Trang Tran
• Food by Chef Anne, inspired by spring
• Japanese music and time to connect with each other

We hope you’ll be with us.
