Finally on Friday, Feb. 20th at 3:30pm we'll be having a movie afternoon. We'll be showing the movie Diary of a Wimpy KidThe hysterically funny, best-selling book comes to life in this family comedy. Greg Heffley is headed for big things, but first he has to survive the scariest, most humiliating experience of any kid’s life – middle school! That won’t be easy, considering he’s surrounded by hairy-freckled morons, wedgie-loving bullies and a moldy slice of cheese with nuclear cooties.  No registration is required for this program and kids are invited to bring along a snack.
