LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
Dear Friends of The Children’s House
Welcome to The Children’s House’s 30th annual fundraising gala! Tonight, we come together for one purpose: to support the continued growth of our independent Montessori
community.
For the past three decades, the reputation of The Children’s House has been one of excellence in the field of early education¬. Our unique and highly individualized approach to
educating children is known for producing young people who are respectful, resourceful
and collaborative self-starters who truly love to learn. The way we accomplish this is no
secret—we are practicing a scientifically proven method of educating young children the
way its creator, Maria Montessori, intended.
This is all made possible through the continued support of people like you. The Children’s
House is totally supported by tuition dollars and fundraising, and that’s why tonight’s gala is
so important.
Gala dollars fill in the financial gap not covered by tuition alone. The money we raise tonight helps to support continuing education and enrichment opportunities for our teachers.
It helps buy new learning materials for our classrooms. Gala dollars are vital in helping to
maintain our beautiful campus, the gardens and greenhouse.
Many area businesses have stepped forward with both merchandise and generous donations to help ensure tonight’s success. To all of them and to our volunteers who made this
evening possible, we thank you.
I would also like to thank all of you for coming to our gala this evening and for giving so
generously. It’s a special thing to be part of a community who understands the role early
education plays in our children’s future. We are thankful to you for believing in our mission
and for supporting our unique and extraordinary school.
With gratitude,

Optional Check-Out*
*Please be sure to take items home with you! We will have staff available to check-out
if you prefer. If you do not want to check out, The Children’s House will bill you for your
evening’s purchases.
The three wines in front of you will go with almost any of the wonderful foods
in the first and second courses – we encourage you to taste and discover your
favorite pairings!
2013 Pinot Grigio – This wine shines with fresh apple, lemon curd and a bit
of fresh grapefruit. I think you’ll find it dry and refreshing yet silky and full in
texture.
2012 Rose of Cabernet Franc – This dry rose will start the conversation with
strawberry, vanilla and watermelon but will show off Cab Franc’s complexity
with tea leaves and cloves in the richly textured finish.
2012 Pinot Noir – Without a wonderfully warm vintage like 2012, we normally
wouldn’t get to make Pinot Noir this rich and dark. Plums, dark spices and oak
notes are all supported and guided by this fresh dark cherry note throughout
the taste (it’s a very Montessori wine.)

Once a month (September - June), order

two Lads Winery is
proud to sponsor
the 2014 children’s house Gala
The three wines in front of you will go with almost any of the wonderful foods
in the first and second courses – we encourage you to taste and discover
your favorite pairings!
2013 Pinot Grigio – This wine shines with fresh apple, lemon curd
and a bit of fresh grapefruit. I think you’ll find it dry and refreshing yet
silky and full in texture.
2012 Rose of Cabernet Franc – This dry rose will start the conversation with strawberry, vanilla and watermelon but will show off Cab Franc’s
complexity with tea leaves and cloves in the richly textured finish.
2012 Pinot Noir – Without a wonderfully warm vintage like 2012, we normally wouldn’t get to make Pinot Noir this rich and dark. Plums, dark spices
and oak notes are all supported and guided by this fresh dark cherry note
throughout the taste (it’s a very Montessori wine.)
