Dear Willow School Parents,
On Friday, December 7th, the Eighth Grade Class will host a Movie Night. Please join us
for an evening of fun and support the eighth grade class as they begin fundraising for
their end of year trip. All Willow students are invited to participate in this evening of fun.
Movies will begin at 6:00 pm and end by 8:00 pm. Admission is $7.00 per person and
includes popcorn and juice.
K-3 students and family members are invited to the Commons to watch MONSTERS,
INC. K-3 families may attend Movie Night for the discounted admission price of $20.00
per family of 4.
MONSTERS, INC.
A city of monsters with no humans called Monstropolis centers
around the city's power company, Monsters, Inc. The lovable,
confident, tough, furry blue behemoth-like giant monster named
James P. Sullivan (better known as Sulley) and his wisecracking
best friend, short, green cyclops monster Mike Wazowski, discover
what happens when the real world interacts with theirs in the form
of a 2-year-old baby girl dubbed "Boo," who accidentally sneaks
into the monster world with Sulley one night. And now it's up to
Sulley and Mike to send Boo back in her door before anybody finds
out, especially two evil villains such as Sulley's main rival as a
scarer, chameleon-like Randall (a monster that Boo is very afraid
of), who possesses the ability to change the color of his skin, and
Mike and Sulley's boss Mr. Waternoose, the chairman and chief
executive officer of Monsters, Inc..

THE PRINCESS BRIDE
A kindly grandfather sits down with his ill grandson and reads
him a story. The story is one that has been passed down from
father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the
story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of
love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the
odious Prince Humperdinck, is kidnapped and held against
her will in order to start a war, It is up to Westley (her
childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) to
save her. On the way he meets a thief and his hired helpers,
an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant,
both of whom become Westley's companions in his quest.

Students in grades 6-7 are invited to the Studio to watch THE BLIND SIDE.
THE BLIND SIDE
Based on the true story of Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy who
take in a homeless teenage African-American, Michael "Big
Mike" Oher. Michael has no idea who his father is and his
mother is a drug addict. Michael has had little formal
education and few skills to help him learn. Leigh Anne soon
takes charge however, as is her nature, ensuring that the
young man has every opportunity to succeed. When he
expresses an interest in football, she goes all out to help him,
including giving the coach a few ideas on how best to use
Michael's skills. They not only provide him with a
loving home, but hire a tutor to help him improve his
grades to the point where he would qualify for an NCAA
Division I athletic scholarship. Michael Oher was the firstround pick of the Baltimore Ravens in the 2009 NFL draft.
