February Break Activities

There's something for everyone during the February school break:

On Mon. Feb. 21st at 10:00am we will be showing the movie "Shrek Forever After". Longing for the days when he was a 'real ogre,' Shrek signs a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to get his roar back, but turns his world upside down in the process.

Bring along a snack and a drink and see if they succeed. No registration is required for this program.
