The Sherman Elem School parent-teacher association hosted a wonderfully fun, highly entertaining and incredibly well-attended community family movie night event late last Friday evening. They creatively screened a massively popular, newly released animated feature film on a gigantic, high definition screen that was set up right in the middle of the main school gym. Kids eagerly brought in comfortable sleeping bags, donned their favorite pajamas, and happily munched on fresh, buttery popcorn with friends during the entire delightful and memorable cinematic experience.
