CRS Movie Day...February 12, 2010! During the long, unexpected snow break, 255 CRS students and family members came out on opening day of the movie Percy Jackson and the Olympians:  The Lightning Thief.  It was a packed house, and CRS filled more than half of Tyson's AMC's largest theater!  Thanks for braving the crowds!  It's always exciting to know that you are one of the first to see such a long anticipated movie!   CRS Family Ice Skating Day! Thanks to those families who came out to skate on Sunday!  We hope you all had a great time skating with other CRS parents and students.  We had over 170 people in attendance!   Fall Family Movie Night and Costume Swap! Thanks for helping to make our first event, the Fall Family Movie Night and Costume Swap such a success!  Over 250 people attended!  Thanks to everyone who brought in their costumes to swap and donate.  Approximately 50% of those who brought a costume were able to find another one they liked!  Forty three costumes were donated to the Katherine K. Hanley Family Shelter in Fairfax County.   About the CRS Family Activities Committee...
