Movie Night Double Feature this Friday Dec 13th!


PTO MOVIE NIGHT
Now showing
PLANES & TURBO



This Friday, December 13 is our next movie night. It will be a double feature. We will be showing Disney’s “Planes” and “Turbo”. This give you 4 hours of kid free time. Christmas is less than 2 weeks away, just think how much shopping you can get done or wrapping. The doors open at 6 and the first movie will start at 6:30 and the second movie will start around 8:30. Movies should be over by 10pm. We ask that you have your child picked up by 10:15. You must sign your child in and out.



The cost for this adult supervised entertainment for your child is just $6.00. This price includes a slice of pizza, drink, and unlimited popcorn. We will have extra concessions available for purchase. After 8:30 we cut off all pop and candy sales.



Send kids in sweatpants and tshirt so they are ready for bed when you pick them up. Bean bags, blankets, pillows etc for lounging on during movie are recommended. Due to the number of students attending we have them eat and drink at the tables provided but they should bring something to lounge on during the movie. We are going to be strict about the drinks staying at the tables, we had quite a few spills last month.



To save time at the sign in which gets congested you may fill out the info below and hand it in when you pay. We will sort them by grades so please put the childs grade on the form so when you come to pick up your child we can find it faster.
