The leadership team with Principal Jenny White, and Deans Elizabeth Mundhenk, Carly Meurer, David Roy, and Jen Nardini organized the event while several teachers, Mr. Goins, Ms. Hutchinson, Mr. Lanphier, Ms. Woodly, and Mrs. Zappia stayed to enjoy the movie with families, as well.
Fresh popcorn and juice was provided to movie guests.
Families enjoyed fresh popcorn and juice. A community partner, Beech Acres, hosted an information table at the event to provide materials about the type of community resources the organization can offer to families.
Mundhenk asked parents to complete a survey. “Several parents mentioned how much they enjoyed coming together to enjoy something fun with their child and staff at Alliance,” she said.
