Gatehouse Montessori





EDUCATION is the most important thing in a child's life, and the parents at Gatehouse Montessori know this to be true. Last Friday night, at Capilano Golf and Country Club, it was time to get together with friends and raise some money to support the school and its many programs. High on the list of items this year is outdoor playground equipment. It was a circus atmosphere as the organizing committee went out of their way to arrange some fun and games for everyone. And in order to be invited to the buffet table, guests had to juggle a set of juggling balls for their supper. If you dropped the ball, you went last. Ha!
