Seycove Schools Mardi Gras

 

 

IT was time to party with the parents last weekend as the 19th Annual Seycove Auction and Dance was held on Saturday at North Van's Parkgate Community Centre. This year's theme was "Mardi Gras" and, as usual, the costumes were spectacular. The event is always well attended and the monies raised go to support not only Seycover School, but the feeder elementary schools as well. Silent auction items and donations are always a big part of the evening and everyone here loves to dance later on to the live music. Congratulations to all involved.
