Gatehouse Montessori School is celebrating its 20th year on the North Shore. During the past two decades over 1500 children have

’ spent their ecrly. developmental years with our educational professionals.

Today about 75 children from preschool age through grade 3 experience the hands-on teaching approach referred to as the traditional Moniessori method.

Although Gatehouse is a well-established name in our community, it has yet to acquire a permanent home. With the 20th Anniversary comes our second annuai fund-raiser to help create a construction fund for the school. Last year, the school raised $19,000 and with your help,

we are hoping to do the same again this year. Le

The Gafehouse Montessori Board and ifs volunteers are planning a wonderful fundraising evening for the 20th Anniversary celebration and it is our wish that all alumni will be inferested in faking part. So join us...won't you!
