Movie Night - A Huge Success!

Movie Night, by all accounts, was a huge success. We had around 55 families totaling 200 people! This was a much bigger turnout than we ever conceived. We started with Looney Toons cartoons, gave away 25 door prizes and then watched the feature presentation which was awesome thanks to El Morro's new video system.

Major kudos to the Movie Night team led by Joe Becker along with Danny Carey and Mark Miller - the event went very smoothly and came in under budget. A big thanks to others that contributed including Jose Vergara, Warren Hutcherson, Mark Major & Neal Detweiler - not to forget Shelley Detweiler and Debra Miller who pitched in as well.

"This is one of the best ideas ever..."
Cheri David, 1st Grade Teacher

We are tasked with putting on 3 "Family Fun Events." With the success of Movie Night, we may want to do more. Think about other events that you would like to see. One idea is to have an overnight camp-out at the school. With Boo Blast, Colonial Days, Winter Break & Ski Week, we will not, likely, have our next event until March or April. Our planning meeting will likely be in January, maybe December.

"The STRIKE TEAM concept is brilliant..."
Dr. Robert Fraisse, Superintendant LBUSD

This Strike Team concept is working better than anyone imagined. Operation: Drop Off has made a huge difference. When I asked for electricians, we had 4 volunteers. When I asked for help building the Haunted House we had 8 responses. I cannot tell you how many positive responses we are getting from the District, the School and the Parents. Keep up the good work!

The STRIKE TEAM ROCKS!!!
Julie Torbensen, Drop Off Mom

Boo Blast is in two weeks, October 26th. We will be looking for volunteers. I will issue specific requests on this shortly. Initially, the big need is for setup and tear down. Mark your schedule.

Lastly, we now offer Strike Team Gear - T-Shirts, Hats, Mugs, Boxer Shorts - a lot of stuff. All profits from each sale goes directly to the PTA. You can access the store from the blog.

Again, great job everybody!
