UPDATE: Due to the threat of winter weather the Movie Night planned for this Sunday, January 25 has been cancelled!

The PTA is excited to be hosting our annual "MOVIE NIGHT AT YCS". This year's film will be Zootopia.

Entry is free and each YCS student will get one free bag of popcorn! Children must be accompanied by an adult, who stays at the school for the duration of the film. We will be watching the film in the cafeteria, so come in comfy clothes (your child can ever wear their favorite pajamas) and bring a sleeping bag or blanket if you want to get extra cozy.

There will be two showings of the film. First showing will be at 1:00pm and the second will be at 4:00pm. Information will be sent home in your child's green folder later this week.

You can RSVP by returning the handout sent home OR you can simply complete the information requested here: (You DO NOT need to return the handout in the folder if you reply here): https://forms.gle/axDX3uTGACPU43gw6

As always, we do need volunteers to help make the event a success. If you are able to help out (children are welcome to "volunteer" with you), please sign up here: https://www.evite.com/signup-sheet/5168904047689728/?utm_campaign=send_sharable_link&utm_source=evitelink&utm_medium=sharable_invite
