Then for dinner, there will be a wonderful buffet to include a colorful garden salad, pan-seared mediterranean salmon, with a grilled artichoke & kalamata olive salsa and a carving station offering Burgundy Soy Marinated Flank Steak, served with a Roasted Pepper Avocado Relish.
*Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements by 3/17.
The Annual Benefit and Auction is Montgomery School’s largest fundraising event of the year. Funds raised from the Benefit, as well as through the Annual Fund, bridge the gap between tuition and budgetary needs to help pay for improvements around our campus, professional development, classroom resources, technology improvements, athletics, and more!
