The Vanderpoel Elem Magnet School parent-teacher association had a wonderfully fun, highly entertaining and incredibly well-attended community family movie night event late last Friday evening. They artistically projected a hot, new animated feature film on a giant, high-definition screen smack dab in the middle of the main school gymnasium. The excited kids happily brought along their cozy sleeping bags, wore their favorite pajamas and had a blast eating freshly popped, buttery popcorn with their friends throughout the entire delightful and memorable cinematic experience.
