A Message from Our Principal…….
On behalf of La Serna high School and Friends of La Serna, I would like to welcome
you to our Casino Night and Silent Auction. Friends of La Serna was chartered in
1975 and thrives today because of the commitment and hard-work of parent
leadership and their spirit of volunteerism. They truly demonstrate the culture of
collaboration that is the heart of La Serna and I am very grateful for all their efforts
in creating this special evening.
La Serna High School is dedicated to providing a culture of high standards, support, and success for all
students. Our school is strengthened by our strong parent and community support. These relationships
coupled with our school-wide commitment to doing “Whatever it Takes,” to ensure success for all
students makes us truly unique. La Serna has been recognized four times as a California Distinguished
School, named a Best High School by U.S. News & World Report, awarded The Golden Bell Award for our
student mentor programs, and consistently earns top scores on state and national assessments. Our cocurricular programs continue to experience great successes including championship athletic teams, award
winning co-curricular programs, and outstanding music and performing arts programs.
The mission of Friends of La Serna is to “provide the extras our students deserve” and your attendance
this evening will make this possible. Tonight promises to be a fun-filled evening where we come together
to celebrate and raise funds for our school’s curricular, co-curricular, and athletic programs. Thank you
for making tonight a success.
Cheers!

"Providing the Extras Our Students Deserve"
A Message from the President
On behalf of the Friends of La Serna (FOLS), it is my pleasure to welcome you
tonight to our Casino Royale & Silent Auction Dinner. Friends is a booster club
which raises money through five activities: 1) Annual membership fees; 2) Yearround Vons/Ralph “Friends" Rewards Program; 3) 5k Run/Walk; 4) an Annual
Spring fund-raiser; and 5) the end-of-the-year Sports Physical Night. Proceeds
from all of the fundraising efforts help offset expenses for academic, co-curricilar and athletic
programs. These include, but not limited to classroom and administrative equipment, video
equipment, computer technology, visual and performing arts, science, math & foreign
language departments, over thirty campus wide clubs, including sports programs.
Every third Thursday of each month, a group of dedicated parents and staff meet to strategize
fundraising efforts and identify our school’s needs. I am very proud of the accomplishments
that these hardworking parents and volunteers have achieved in the past year. It has been a
pleasure to serve with such a talented group of individuals who care about advancing our
youth’s quality of education. Their countless volunteer hours are to be commended. With their
work and your support our school will continue to thrive and more importantly, our students
will have the tools that they need to create a bright future for themselves!
Education is the key to success and everyone plays a part. Our parent volunteers get involved
wherever they can. From becoming a FOLS member to volunteering their time and talent,
sometimes it’s as easy as just buying groceries! Yes, by enlisting in the Vons/Ralphs “Friends”
rewards program and/or Amazon Smile, a percentage of every purchase is donated back to our
school.
Ways to get involved:
 Become a “Friends” Member, Volunteer, Donate.
 Join our Vons/Ralphs "Friends" Rewards Program (Flyer enclosed).
 Participate in our Sport Physicals on May 19, 2015
 Register for our 5k Run/Walk on November 14, 2015.
The Friends of La Serna appreciates your participation in tonight’s event and we really couln’t
do this without the support from our local businesses, community leaders and parent
volunteers. Together we are making a difference!

Friends of La Serna is a non-profit 501 c (3) organization comprised of
parent and school staff volunteers. Chartered in 1975 by a group of concerned
parents and staff who saw a need to raise much needed funds to help support La
Serna High School curricular and co-curricular programs.
Friends of La Serna raises money through five activities: 1) Annual
membership fees; 2) 5k Run/Walk; 3) Year-round Vons/Ralph “Friends"
Rewards Program; 4) an Annual Spring fund-raiser; and 5) the end-of-the-year
Sports Physical Night.
Your participation this year as a sponsor will ensure that we achieve our
fundraising goals. Proceeds will be given back to our school programs,
continuing to support the high quality extra-curricular activities being
offered to our students through programs such as OASIS, Expanded
Horizons, PUENTE and many more. With your support, last year alone, we were able to provide classroom
equipment and supplies, computer and film technology as well as sports equipment and also helped offset the
cost of various sports uniforms. This is only a partial list of the type of support that our students received because
of your generous contributions. Our goal is to continue to provide all students with the opportunities and extras
they deserve.

“On behalf of all the students, mentors, and parents of Oasis, I want to
thank you for your extremely generous donation to our program again this
year. Your tireless devotion to our school and all of our students, changes
lives in more ways than you will ever know!
Because of your generosity this year, all of our at-risk students will have the
supplies they need to be successful and to create a bright future for
themselves. We have a “Wall of Fame” for our students each year. To get
on the “wall” with a picture of themselves with mentors, students must
pass all of their classes for the year with a minimum of a 2.5 GPA. This year, we will add 31 more student photographs
joining the more than a hundred that already hang in the room. Each one of these photographs represents a life saved,
changed forever with hope, goals, and a future. None of it would be possible without you! You are amazing people with
hearts of gold. You are saving kids’ lives! Thank you and God Bless you for all you do!” Ken LaVigne - Organized

FRIEND OF THE YEAR:
Dr. Joshua Samanta, DC, CCSP, CSCS, NRCME Cert.
Dr. Josh is truly honored to be nominated 2015 Friend of the Year and thanks Nancy
Lopez, FOLS board members, Ann Fitzgerald and the entire school staff for their continual
commitment to LSHS.
Dr. Josh is a long time LS supporter, including sponsoring many events, being guest speaker
for the Sports Careers Academy, hosting students for clinical rounds and performing
physicals at the Uptown Wellness Center. Over the past decade, he has treated many school
staff and students and has worked alongside great staff like Kathy Abell, Steve Hemenway, Randy Castillo, Coach
Beltran and Varsity football coaches on the field. In the community, Dr Josh is an active board member of the
Whittier Community Foundation, Activate Whittier and SCUHS. He is also involved in on-site health, wellness and
ergonomic programs at companies throughout LA and Orange Counties.
His very first encounter with LS was through the Whittier Chamber of Commerce “Principal For A Day” program
with former principal Leo Camalich – a truly eye-opening experience. While on campus, Dr Josh liked the Crimson
and Gold colors so much, he adopted these colors for his own clinic, now in its 14th year in Uptown Whittier. A true
crowning moment was when LS won the CIF Championship in 2013.
On a personal level, Dr Josh was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, graduated from the University of Toronto, then
came down to Los Angeles for the Doctor of Chiropractic program at the Southern California University of Health
Sciences. He then furthered his studies in Sports Medicine to become a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician. It
was while in chiropractic college that he met his incredible wife, Celeste: “It was love at first adjustment”. Today, she
is “Houston Mission Control” for the family, with 3 active boys, making life exciting and exhausting (but he wouldn’t
trade it for the world). As part of his ongoing therapy, Dr. Josh enjoys playing ice hockey, tennis, and skiing should
it ever snow. Dr. Josh continues to appreciate being a part of the Lancer legacy, and is honored to play a part in such a
proactive school that truly cares for its students.
In Recognition Of “Friends” Who Have Made A Difference And Taken An
Active Interest In Promoting Student Excellence.
TEACHER OF THE YEAR:
Mr. Steve Hemenway has been an integral part of La Serna High School for the past 25 years. He is man of high character
and is a true servant leader. He has made a positive impact on our campus as a teacher, coach,
and athletic director. In and out of the classroom he does a tremendous job motivating students
and preparing them for their future. Currently, Steve teaches in our Sports’ Careers Academy and
Physical Education Department. He has also taught for many years at Rio Hondo College. As
the Athletic Director, Steve has overseen every aspect of our athletic program for the past decade.
Steve is well respected and valued by the athletes, coaches and parents. Under his leadership he has
guided our athletic program to tremendous success. Steve is married to his beautiful wife, Nancy.
They have three children Christie, Natalie, and Michael.
STAFF OF THE YEAR:
Mrs. Patricia (Trish) Garcia joined the La Serna family in 2006, the same year her daughter
started high school here. Trish is very talented and has worked in many offices including the
library, attendance, curriculum, and most recently as principal’s secretary. She loves helping
students and working with all the LS staff and teachers. Trish has been married 24 years to
her high school sweetheart Tom. They have 3 daughters, Lindsey (22) (her new son-in-law
Ronnie), Allison (19) and Nicole (14). Two of her daughters are La Serna Grads and her
youngest will be attending La Serna as a freshman next year. Trish said, “I have been blessed
to have the greatest job working at La Serna, I look forward to coming to work every day.”

Friends of La Serna
"Providing the Extras Our Students Deserve"
A Message from Our Event Chairs………
Dear Friends,
A lot has clearly changed since La Serna was established back in 1961. While the face of the
school has evolved over the years, the heart and soul of La Serna is very much the same today as
it was back then. Its friends, family, community, school administration and of course the students
that has kept La Serna evolving and striving to reach new heights.
We want to Thank You for supporting this year’s Friends of La Serna 2015 Casino Royale fund
raiser. Your support and generosity makes a big difference to all of our students as well as to La
Serna. Through our “friends", we continue to carry out the Mission to raise and distribute
supplementary funds annually to enhance all campus-wide programs, wherever needed. It is
important that our local businesses, Whittier-area community, and community leaders, continue
to support and sponsor our efforts. We simply could not do this without you. We look forward
to continuing the relationship with our “friends” for many more years to come.
Tonight we are proud to honor an exceptional teacher and staff member who have made notable
contributions to La Serna. We are also honored to have an outstanding “Friend of Year” who has
made a difference in our community and has been extremely supportive of Friends of La Serna
and La Serna High School throughout the years.
Last year (2013/14), the Friends of La Serna raised over $40,000 through its fund raising efforts
throughout the year. This year (2014/15), we have increased our fund raising efforts to try and
surpass last year’s total. Every dollar that is raised goes back to enrich our La Serna students’
educational experience in a variety of ways. With over 30 sports teams, clubs and organizations
all actively enriching and contributing to a diverse high school experience, we are happy to see
that La Serna is even greater today than it was back in 1961.
Thanks again for your support. We hope you enjoy your evening and get a chance to connect
with people that share your same passion and commitment to La Serna High School. Your tax
deductible donation is welcome and sincerely appreciated to help meet our annual Friends of La
Serna 2015 goal.
