Int’l Children’s Film Festival 2017 – Discounted tickets

Posted on by

This  month Discounted tickets to the Int’l Children’s Film Festival 2017 

will run for the next four weekends! Make your plans to catch the best new films for ages 3-18. Even better, our school receives a $3 discount on all tickets!

Celebrate the best new international films through the Festival’s wildly popular short film programs – Short Films One (recommended ages 5-10) and Short Films Two (recommended ages 8-14). Plus, don’t miss out on brand new feature films and Festival Flashback –

  • Rudolf the Black Cat (Japan, recommended ages 7+) – Rudolph strays from his comfortable like in Gifu, Japan to explore nearby Tokyo and discovers far more than he dreamed imaginable
  • Mr. Frog  (Netherlands, recommended ages 7+) – Every time students say the word “frog,” Sita’s teacher goes a bit green at the gills. Hop over to a screening of Mr. Frog and find out why!
  • Plus – Festival Flashback: Panda! Go Panda! – This Totoro precursor comes from the legendary team that formed Studio Ghibli (with original concepts and character designs by Hayao Miyazaki) and is seriously fun as seven year-old Mimoko gets more than she bargains for when Papa Panda and baby Panny show up at her door

EVCS Harvest Festival

Dear Families

The Harvest Festival is a tradition at East Village Community School. For those of you who are new to the school, the Harvest Festival is a beloved event by kids, staff and families. Not only do the students learn all about giving to people less fortunate, conceptually, but they do so in a celebratory gathering in the yard complete with community, songs and a school-wide walk to Trinity Lutheran Church, located o Avenue B and 10th Street, to actually deliver the cans to the shelter. It is a beautiful morning. Families are welcome to participate in the festivities and walk with the students to the church.

We ask that anyone owning a cart, please bring it to the yard in the morning on Tuesday, November 24th to help us transport the cans!

We sent home a flyer in backpacks!
