YAN to host free family “4-D Movie Night” on Friday, April 24
The Tyrone Area High School Youth Action Network is taking family movie night to the next level with their first ever “4-D Family Movie Night” at the Tyrone Middle and High School on Friday, April 24 from 5:00 – 7:30 pm.
A “4-D” movie is a family movie that includes live actors and audience interaction at key parts of the movie.
There will be a skit with costumed actors, treats for the kids, dancing and other silly things, all choreographed to the movie. It should be a lot of fun for the kids
— YAN President Mark Lewis
“We plan to have lots of things going on during the movie. There will be a skit with costumed actors, treats for the kids, dancing and other silly things, all choreographed to the movie. It should be a lot of fun for the kids,” said YAN president Mark Lewis.
Entertainment will be provided by members of the YAN club and other TAHS student and faculty volunteers.
There is no admission fee and the event is open to all families in the Tyrone Area School District with children ages pre-K to sixth grade. The only requirement is that children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Families can choose from three movies (click the movie titles below for family friendly movie reviews from Common Sense Media):
- Yogi Bear in the high school cafeteria is recommended for children in grades pre-K through first grade.
- The Bee Movie in the middle school LGI is recommended for children in grades two to four.
- James and the Giant Peach in the high school auditorium is recommended for middle school grades five and six.
The event is sponsored by the Tyrone Youth Action Network (YAN) club, the elementary administration, and the middle school administration.
“This is a community wide event for the children and families of our district,” said YAN co-adviser Cummins McNitt, “after the great success of our Community Halloween Night we were looking for something to do in the spring. We hope that events like this continue to build positive bridges in our community between families and the school.”
“YAN is always very excited to give in any way that we can, whether it be with money, time, or in smiles. Four-D movie night is just a fun way to do something for the children of our community and hopefully they enjoy it,” said TAHS senior and YAN president Mark Lewis.
