Movie Night

March 7th from 6 PM to 8 PM at the Cherry Crest Gym/Café, with doors opening at 5:45 PM. Join us for a fun-filled evening featuring a PG-rated movie. Bring a blanket and pillow for comfortable seating, and if possible, bring cash for concessions. Students must be accompanied by an adult, as this is not a drop-off event. Tickets are free but required for headcount. Concessions, including pizza, candy, drinks, and more, will be available for purchase.
