PTO is hosting a movie night on Saturday May 5th at 6pm. The movie will play in Family Life Center. The movie is free and so is the popcorn and a drink. We will have fun activities related to the theme of the movie. If you are interested in joining us, please click on the Facebook link and mark "going.” This will help PTO get an accurate count for the event.
