Keiki Movie Mania was a hit with our K – 5 families who gathered for an enjoyable afternoon of fun this past weekend.

Attendees watched the movie “Zootopia 2.” While enjoying the movie, families were treated to popcorn and lemonade, courtesy of the PFA.

A huge thank you goes out to our amazing volunteers, whose time and effort made this event so successful. Your support and enthusiasm helped create an unforgettable experience for everyone!
