WAVE K-12 Movie Night: Please join us for Movie Night on Friday, March 31st at 6PM! We will have Puss in Boots: The Last Wish playing at the K-8 campus  and a movie chosen by the students at our High School campus. Both movies will begin at 6:30PM giving families plenty of time to drop students off at the HS campus and travel to the K-8 campus to watch the movie with their K-8 student. We will have popcorn, water, and treats available for all to enjoy during the movie. Check back next week for the announcement of the movie chosen by our High School students! We need volunteers at both campuses to make this evening successful. CLICK HERE to sign up to help.
