68 THE WAY

The Adelaide charity event is an annual event held by Adelaide Montessori Prep to champion the causes the school supports. The school auctions off some property they don't need anymore to parents who are willing to buy and the proceeds go to the appropriate foundations. This year, the proceeds of the auction are going to Daisylane Miracle Centre-a foundation that specializes in raising awareness for children with autism and learning disabilities.

''Woah,'' I exclaim. Soft jazz music plays in the background as Theo and I enter the gym. ''I've never seen the gym look like a confetti threw up on it.'' Adelaide's gym is huge to say the least; a combination of two gyms in total. They decided to ring in the holidays early, hence the decoration with Christmas ornaments. On the far left side of the gym is a Christmas tree with the words 'Merry Christmas' planted on it in a sea of neon lights.
