WV Montessori Fashion Show





WEST Vancouver's Montessori School is a great place for kids to get a start on their education. Designed for the little ones, it offers families a way to boost their children's confidence, skills and overall preparedness for what lies ahead. Raising funds to support the school and its programs is all in a days work for these parents. So what better way to enter spring than with a stylish luncheon fashion show. Capilano Golf and Country Club was the setting as guests were treated to great food and great fun, and all in the name of a good cause. Congratulations everyone.

Strike a pose, there's nothing to it. Models Victoria Rogers (from left) Karen Arthurs and Selina Ladak were looking very vogue.
