MONTROYAL Elementary School, in North Vancouver, was moving and grooving last Saturday night as the school held a fund raising "Retrofest". Music of the 60's, 70's, 80's by the band The Sarita Brothers and a special appearance by Elvis Presley himself added to the excitement of the night which also included a silent action and prizes for the best costume. Funds raised will go to the Montroyal ElementarySchool computer lab.
