How Much We Raised From Movie Night

We are pleased to share that you have helped us raise $1000 from our Movie Night held last week!

Our teachers have expressed the need for 2 LCD projectors so the proceeds will go towards these, one for PYP students and one for MYP students.

It's been a great start with our first event this year and we look forward to continue to grow our teacher / parent community and fundraising efforts!

More news to come next week....

Pictures From Movie Night!

If you were at our Movie Night, we hope you had a great time!  It was a fantastic turnout with over 100 attending.

The start was quite busy with lots of excitement!  

We certainly couldn't do it alone.  

Thanks to the teachers & staff for their support, to our parent volunteers who helped throughout the night, and our awesome student volunteers!  You made a big difference and we appreciate you.  

Thank you to all of the families and friends for coming out and supporting us.

As you will see in the pictures below, Shaun the Sheep movie watchers were continuing the fun after the movie ended and were dancing the night away!
