Nearly all the members of Dilly Dilly are Class of 2020 alumni\u00a0(right to left):<\/i>\u00a0Oliver Pollack (Bass), Harry Pollack (Guitar), Taj Troyan (Lead singer), Sam Rather (Drums), and Oliver Copeland (Guitar).<\/div>\n

Dilly Dilly<\/b>, the band comprised mainly of LES Class of 2020 alumni, spent a day in February at the East West recording studio in Hollywood recording 4 original songs! Mom to the twin Pollack brothers on bass and guitar, Jessica Falcone, said, “It was surreal to witness their six-year musical journey culminate in a studio that has hosted legends from Frank Sinatra to The Rolling Stones.”<\/div>\n

Our recent spring gala had the 1960’s theme, “Peace, Love & LES.” It was a fun night out for the 21-and-over crowd, raising funds to keep the Los Encinos School program cutting edge.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

At the event, an exciting surprise occurred when Mrs. Reinfeld announced the launch of a new fundraising initiative aimed at renovating the playground and several adjacent classrooms. The rooms to be updated include kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, the creative corner (formerly the music room), and the music room (formerly the art room). See renderings of the anticipated changes below. Your tax-deductible gift will help; any amount is welcome. Go to losencinosschool.org\/renovation2026<\/a> to make a donation.<\/div>\n
