Movie Night was lots of fun!

Despite the chilly evening, lots of families showed up for movie night on Friday. Congrats to STUCO and Ms. Hurley for mobilizing lots of student volunteers. The DPTO would like to thank Mario Pineda, Brenda and Jaime Rosado, Chantal von Schoenberg, Nina Adam-Glynn, Gloria Palacios, Charles Richard, Carlos Ferrera, the parents who brought baked goods and the US embassy and the US marines for loaning us the movies and equipment. Through the sale of food and drink we made (note correction) L.5,000 towards recycling!

Organizing committee: Elizabeth Morrison, Kris Angerthal and Jackie Greene

We need volunteers to bring baked goods to Movie Night

Dear parents,
Please bring a plate of cookies, brownies, or other easy to eat treats to Movie Night, for DPTO and STUCO to sell. Profits will go to STUCO for RECYCLING at DISCOVERY! Please let us know what you will bring, by emailing discoverypto@gmail.com, or jackiekgreene@yahoo.com.

Thank you!
