Don’t miss our annual movie night on Friday, January 29th at Border Star when we will show the summer hit animated movie, “Up.”

Show time is at 7 pm in the auditorium.

The cost of the movie is FREE, but we encourage you to buy drinks and treats at our Upper Elementary concession stand.  Upper Elementary students will be selling popcorn, juice and water, candy and other treats.  All proceeds will support Upper Elementary participation in the Model United Nations program in New York in February.

The movie “Up” (rated G) is the story of an elderly man who meets a young boy, Russell, and their balloon adventure to a hidden area of South America. The movie is nominated for an Academy Award and just won a Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature.

For more information on movie night, email Pattie Mansur, pmansur@kc.rr.com.
