Family Fun Night will be different this year to allow for social distancing. We will be having a Family Movie Night at the Phoenix Drive-In in Houston April 16 for elementary students and April 23 for high school students. Popcorn and water will be served, and student names will be drawn for prizes. Movie tickets will be awarded to those who complete the online school survey at https://forms.office.com/r/VxVjdSd5C0 by April 9. (If online completion is not an option for you, please send a note with your child stating this.) Elementary will be watching The Croods a New Age. High school movie is yet to be determined. Families will need to provide their own transportation.
