The Gateway Bands will be hosting a “Boo-vie Night” fundraiser on Friday, Oct 26 in the Gateway Performing Arts Center (GPAC). Doors open at 5:30 p.m. where there will be pizza and treats (for sale), games and a costume contest. The movie—ParaNorman—begins at 6:30 p.m. and is free to attend.

ParaNorman is an animated comedy and adventure film. It features Norman, a young boy, who can speak to ghosts. Norman must stop a curse from a witch to save his town.

This movie night is open to elementary and middle school students and their families; please be advised the film contains some crude humor/mild language. Common Sense Media reports that this film (rated PG) may be scary for young children who don’t like monsters, ghosts, etc.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.

The Shipman Fund of the Gateway Education Foundation received a $30 thousand grant earlier this year, which was used to update the projection system in the GPAC in order to show high resolution films.

The Chester Elementary School PTO is sponsoring a family ‘Boo Bash’ at the school from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct 26. Music will be provided by Kevin Bell.

All Chester Elementary Students and their families are invited and children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. Admission is free and everyone is invited to come in (non-scary) costumes.

Families may pre-order pepperoni or cheese pizza dinners using forms that went home in red folders. All meals come with a drink and a plate of pizza. There will also be a bake sale and a Roll ‘n Pop: pop 2 balloons for $3 and win a prize every time.

Volunteers are still needed for the bake sale, to set up (starting at 4 p.m.), to clean up at 7:30 p.m. and for general operations during the event.

This is a fundraiser for the Chester PTO and proceeds will support classroom and school programs.
