We show ours in our gym. We had a lady last year who who owned a fabric shop that made/donated to our PTO a "screen" out of vinyl and it is now a permanent fixture hanging up high on the wall, out of student or adult reach. Before that we just used the wall portion that was up high and painted white.

You HAVE to purchase a movie license! We only show G rated movies and admission is free and popcorn and soda combo is available for $1. The soda is donated by a local store (with 30 day notice and a donation form filled out at their store) and the school ALWAYS has extra popcorn and bags, so they just let us have those.

We do not have the students bring in sleeping bags and pillows (lice) so we set up chairs and lunch tables instead.

We have the high school child care class come in and with a couple teachers we offer free babysitting for infants or children who are not interested in the movie. We have armbands for the child and parent who drops them off. I bought these from a local school supply store for cheap and have enough for a few years.

We also found that holding it in the winter is not wise either. We have had to cancel due to flu before. Last year we held ours in late April after testing. That worked out great.

Check out your local video store and see what new movie is coming out on DVD. Purchase the DVD, show it and then have a raffle to win the movie at the end of the night.
There were some great summer movies this year, so they should be coming out soon. Or you could tie in the fall with a halloween-type movie (monster house) or show Harry Potter with the kids dressing up in costume.

Anyone have any ideas on a movie night for fall? How do you go about having one? I have the information from PTO today, but I would appreciate any help regarding this subject! Thank-you!
