TONIGHT!

Join us for a fun-filled Family Movie Night hosted by the Garfield PTA. We will be featuring the hit animated comedy The Bad Guys.

Here are our tips and expectations for a great evening:

Movie Night is not a drop off event. All Eagles must have an adult with them at the event.
Time: Arrive at 6:30 PM to grab your seats and settle in. The movie will start right around sunset (approx. 7:15 PM).

Location: Garfield Blacktop. We will move to the GES Gym or café if it rains.
What to Bring: Pack a picnic dinner for your family, and don't forget your lawn chairs and cozy blankets!
Treats: We'll be serving up fresh movie theater popcorn and sweet desserts to enjoy during the show.
We Need Your Help! Events like this are only possible with community support. If you can spare a little time to help with setup, popcorn, or cleanup, we would deeply appreciate it! Sign-Up to Support Movie Night
