Escape the bustle of the holiday season with a cozy night in with other MES families! Bring your blanket or lawn chairs, cozy up in your holiday pajamas, and enjoy a holiday classic – Home Alone. Doors open at 5:30 PM, and we’ll start the movie shortly after 6 PM.

Bring your dinner and popcorn, or save time and purchase from the Fifty’s food truck, run by one of our MES families.

RSVP by Wednesday, December 10 at bit.ly/MESPTOWINTER2025. Limited to the first 60 families, due to space limitations in the cafeteria.
