The Dollar Movies are Back!

Dollar movies are back! Be sure to thank your student council members. They successfully collaborated with the superintendent of TSD and the Palm staff to bring the dollar movies back. The first movie will be February 3, 2012…3:30 until it’s over. Of course, it will only cost a dollar.

The dollar movies will continue as long as all audience members are cooperating and following the rules. Take a look at his video to see what’s expected of audience members. [movie by student council]
