PARENT NIGHT WRAP UP
Wow, wow wasn't this the best night ever! The Gardenvale ski lodge was open and the snow was falling! The pasta was scrumptious, the cocktails were flowing and the dance floor was full! People dressed in their finest Apres ski outfits, from fur to ski goggles -it was hard to choose the best! From the decorations, the attention to detail and the joy in the air, this truly was a night to remember. The footy was on for those disappointed Collingwood fans! Thank you so much to the incredible prep reps who facilitated this event, from the idea to the execution!. Stephanie Munro, Mia Roth, Lindsay Hunter, Natalie Osowicki, Rita Nador, Mayuri Bhavsar, and Rachel Gentely. Also thanks to partners Tom, Michael and Finn for the heavy lifting and hard work. Thank you everyone for coming and joining our amazing parent community. The pics say it all! What a night!
