Springtime means green grass, fresh flowers and sunshine, and it’s no different at Langley’s Global Montessori School.
The children of the Global Montessori School, 19785 55A Ave., are busy preparing for the school’s annual spring tea.
The tea is a community event that allows the students to learn new skills and showcase the talents and skills they’ve learned at the school for their parents and family members.
The tea is both a celebration and a learning experience for the students as they make the invitations, table place cards and decorations. They also learn how to be good hosts and hostesses, while practising their social graces.
This year’s theme will be Italy, in honour of the school’s founder, Dr. Maria Montessori.
The decorations, food and performances will all have Italian themes and flavours, providing a warm, welcoming environment for patrons to enjoy.
Each class will have their own tea time starting on Wednesday, May 18, 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. with the Preschool 1 class and the infants and toddlers, 2:45 to 3:30 p.m.
On Thursday, May 19, the Preschool 2 class will host their tea in the morning, from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m., followed by the elementary students, from 1:15 until 3 p.m.
