Movie Day

Saturday we had a movie day at a local theater for a student government sponsored activity. Students had to pick up a ticket on campus in advance and then come to the theater between 4:00 and 5:00 on Saturday. Jeremy, our vice president, and I were at Walker Cinemas to greet students. Because our student body includes both traditional students who would like a date night and non-traditional students with families, we couldn't decide on one movie that we thought everyone would enjoy so we just let them pick any movie that started during that hour and we paid for their tickets. Walker cinemas was great and even gave our students a half price deal on a popcorn and drink combo. We asked students to show their school spirit by wearing their Aggie Blue and it was a lot of fun to see entire families coming in all wearing Aggie T-shirts! We combined our activity with a service project by having our students bring donations of canned food for the local food pantry. We ended up with just over a hundred people attending, and I think the activity was a success.
