We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who joined us for the PTO Movie Night, which coincided with our school read-aloud adventure, "Mr. Popper's Penguins." Your enthusiastic presence made the evening truly special, creating a warm and engaging atmosphere that resonated with the spirit of community.

We hope you enjoyed the delightful tale of Mr. Popper and his penguins as much as we did. Your support and participation are integral to the success of our school events, and it was a joy to see families coming together to share the magic of storytelling. We hope your students have shared how the book compares to the film.

As we continue to foster a love for literature and family bonding, we are excited to announce two upcoming read-aloud nights that promise to be just as delightful:

1. Charlotte's Web Family Movie Night

   • Date: March 7
   • Time: 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm

2. Because of Winn Dixie Family Movie Night

   • Date: May 2
   • Time: 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm

We look forward to creating more cherished memories with you as we explore the enchanting worlds of "Charlotte's Web" and "Because of Winn Dixie" through these family movie nights. Your continued support is invaluable, and we can't wait to share these magical evenings with you.

Once again, thank you for being an essential part of our school community. Your presence and enthusiasm make a significant impact, and we are grateful for your ongoing support.
