Tonight’s Movie Night
The doors of the former Apalachicola High School gymnasium closed since the school district consolidated both high schools reopened on Wednesday, June 1 as a dedicated center for the kids of Apalachicola.
Scores of children from throughout the community and surrounding area will now be able to benefit from structured programs and supervision at the center provided by staff from the Apalachee Center.
After holding town hall meetings a group of kids formed an advisory council called Kids United Together (K.U.T.), shared ideas and collaborated with the city to provide at the center movie nights, teen dances, lounge areas, and a host of sports, board and electronic game activities.
The opening hours are still being worked out, but as of now they are 6:00PM to 9:00PM Monday through Friday and weekends.
Tonight, Friday, June 3, starting at 7:00PM will feature movies shown on a large inflatable screen, with concession opened and operated by the K.U.T. advisory council.
The youth center is a collaborative effort between the City of Apalachicola, the K.U.T advisory council, the Franklin's Promise Coalition, and the Apalachee Center.
