  • Pirates of the Caribbean Gala at Braemar in North Vancouver

    Ahoy mateys! The parents and friends of Braemar Elementary School in North Vancouver channeled their inner Johnny Depp for a night of frivolity last week at the school’s annual gala. Pirates of the Caribbean was the theme and the school looked like something from a movie set as everyone was dressed to the nines in fabulous costumes. The decor was amazing and parent Scott Warner even built a full size pirate ship in the auditorium which was spectacular. Auction items, a live band, food and fun were all part of the action. Monies raised will go to support new technology at the school.

And whether you’re raising money for your cause or remembering to donate for the season, please remember to give generously. Let’s take a look back at a few great faces from last week.
