We had our first family movie night this past Friday and it went over great. Admission for free with donated food item (for local food bank) or they could pay a minimal fee ($1 per family with our pto card or $5 w/o). We signed up a few families this night.
We showed Polar Express with a 15 min. intermission. We sold Popcorn for .25 and soda for .50 a glass. Water cooler was free. We couldn't keep up on the popcorn, need to start that way eariler than 45 min. We also sold candy at intermission and this was a BIG hit. M&M's, snickers mostly.
There was a lot of clapping at the end of the movie so I think everyone enjoyed it. People were suggesting that we do this once a month, etc. We showed the movie in our Gym.
Can't wait to have another one!
