Please join us this Friday, October 21st for our first ever Outdoor Movie Night! We will be showing Raya and the Last Dragon starting at 7pm on the East side of the building in the parking lot. This event is free to attend. Bring your chairs and blankets to cozy up and plan to arrive around 6:30pm to get set up so that we may start the movie on time. 

We will also have space for a limited number of cars in the back of the lot available on a first come, first served basis if you prefer to watch from the back of your vehicle. Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks, hot chocolate, etc. We will also have popcorn, candy, and water available for purchase from 6:30-7pm for $1 each (cash only). In case of inclement weather, we will cancel the event and send notification via email and on the PTO Facebook page. 

The PTO is in need of several volunteers to assist with parking and concessions so if you’ll be attending Movie Night and are willing to help, we’d love the assistance! To volunteer, visit the following link:
