“You can’t do anything alone. Find your tribe, and never ever let them go” – Gru
One of our favorite quotes from our featured movie Minions, The Rise of Gru which so beautifully articulates how we feel about our Pacific School tribe. We love coming together as a community and it truly takes a village of amazing volunteers to help make Movie Night an absolute success. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all who have joined to make our 20th Annual Pacific Movie Night possible.

At Pacific, we are busy working to organize and kick off our second year with ADL's No Place for Hate elementary school program. In our first year with the program we saw great interest and enthusiasm from the kids, we look forward to seeing the students lead us further this year!
No Place for Hate is a collaborative initiative that provides Pre-K–12 schools with an organizing framework for students, administrators, teachers and family members to develop long-term solutions for creating and maintaining an inclusive and equitable school climate.
