TONIGHT: PTA Movie Night On Our Field!

Our PTA Movie Night is tonight, Friday, October 1! Join us on the playground at 6:00pm for fun and food (cash only, please) and at 7:00pm on the field for showtime. Our kids voted and chose Space Jam 2 as our movie! This is a family event, so families should plan to stay and supervise their children. Bring blankets and whatever else you need to be comfortable and warm seated on the ground. 

A special thank-you to Sexy Pizza for donating our Movie Night pizza!
