Notes from the Parent Foundation
We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that. Reverse it.

Movie Night is here! Fingers crossed. We are all keeping an eye on the sky. Hopefully you are all getting ready for an amazing night! We are so excited to kick off the school year with our first community event, hosted by our incredible 6th grade class! The rain should be clearing up. Keeping thinking sun for the afternoon! I will send out a follow up announcement by 5 if it looks like the grass will be too wet.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will be our featured film, gates open at 5:30. The Movie should kick off around 6:30! Bring blankets and low chairs. Please set up chairs according to height, Leave room in the front for blankets and littles. We will have food for sale, drinks, popcorn and more. Maybe think about a nice waterproof tarp!
Come out and join the fun! The OTA Book Fair kicks off tonight, Rain or Shine, at 5:30 and will run next week from 3-4pm as well.
