First Honoree for Mandala Spirit – Endris Award

First Honoree for Mandala Spirit – Endris Award

SpiritAward_2015

This year we established the “Spirit of Mandala — Endris Award” to recognize a family or person who embodies the spirit of Mandala Children’s House and the ideals captured by our founders (“Nurture the child. Support the family. Nourish the staff.”) in their service to the school in extraordinary ways.

We presented Mike and Kathi Endris, alumni Mandala parents and grandparents, with the inaugural “Spirit of Mandala — Endris Award” as the first honoree at this year’s ceremony for the Graduating Pre-Kindergarten Class of 2015. They have been extremely generous financially and supportive to our mission and philosophy. Thank you Mike and Kathi for your support of our school!

“We are honored!” says Kathi Endris. “We’re more than happy to support Mandala Children’s House,” explains Mike Endris, “because we have first hand experience with Mandala being the parents of an alumni and grandparents of two and a third in the future. They have been a very important child development and educational institution for forty years.”
