International movies can expand our world to the cultural universals we share and to the ways in which we are different. Up to 45 Congressional School students in 5th and/or 6th grade are invited to join Mrs. Yassine and Mrs. Rovinsky on Friday afternoon after school, June 1, to watch and discuss the movie, Queen of Katwe.

Queen of Katwe is a family-friendly movie/drama based on a true story.  Bolstered by a devoted mentor, 9-year of Phiona Mutesi takes aim at becoming a chess champion.

Mrs. Yassine and Mrs. Rovinsky will provide drinks, dinner, and dessert.

Cost:  $75 per student.  Space for each student purchased separately.

June 1st is the date of the Middle School hangout. Students attending the movie and dinner will have the option of staying to play games and go directly to the hangout.
