Movie Night Volunteers Needed for The Incredibles 2

Please click here to sign up to volunteer at Movie Night on Friday, December 7, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Help transform the Multipurpose Room into our cinema! The Incredibles 2 (2018) will be the featured attraction. Rated “PG”, the film made $182 million in its opening weekend last June, setting the record for best debut of an animated film. 

Your family will enjoy this Disney/Pixar film on the big screen! Come get your fresh hot popcorn, licorice and bottled water from the snack bar. Kids can win free prizes, including the chance to sprawl out on the Movie Night Sofa, provided by Seldens Designer Home Furnishings.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Bring blankets and pillows. Chairs are available, but you may also bring your own. Please keep your folding high-back chairs on the perimeters. This is a family event. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Admission is free, thanks to your donations to PTSA.

Check out the review and trailer on CommonSenseMedia.org to determine if The Incredibles 2 is suitable for your child.
