What a wonderful evening! 💙🦈

Last night’s Fall Family Movie Night was a huge success! We loved spending a Friday evening watching Casper under the stars with our Shark families!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing PTA volunteers, dedicated school staff, and all the families who joined us! Your support, hard work, and enthusiasm made the evening extra special.

🍦 A special shout-out to Drippy's Homemade Ice Cream Truck for joining us and staying for the entire evening! We appreciate your continued support and for bringing an extra sweet treat to our movie night!

There’s nothing better than coming together for a little family fun and making memories that last!

📸 Here’s a peek at the fun!
