🎬🍿 One Last Blast! 🍿🎬

We were happy to treat the students at Ekstrand Elementary to a special end-of-the-year outing at the DeWitt Operahouse Theatre to watch Swapped!

Each student also enjoyed a popcorn treat while taking in the movie, making the experience even more fun.

Being able to sponsor experiences like this is one of our favorite things to do. These special events give students a chance to make lasting memories with their classmates and celebrate the end of another wonderful school year together.

Thank you for supporting the Central DeWitt PTO and helping us create opportunities that make a difference for our students. 💜💛
