Last Friday evening the Whittier Elem School parent-teacher association hosted a great community family movie night. It was a lot of fun, very entertaining and very well attended. The school gymnasium was the venue and they had the big, high-definition screen set up right in the center of the main gym. They even got a brand-new animated feature film that had just been released and they showed that on the big screen to the delight of the kids! The children were happy to bring their comfortable sleeping bags and favorite pajamas, eat freshly popped, buttery popcorn with their friends and had a wonderful time for the entire duration of the fun and memorable movie experience.
