Tama County SKIP (Supporting Kids in Prevention) is partnering with the local movie theaters in Traer, Gladbrook, and the Wieting Theatre to offer a FREE Family Movie Night for Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month.

We believe that protecting children is everyone’s business and want to create a world where all children grow up happy, healthy, and prepared to succeed.

This year it was felt that a way we could incorporate awareness and family togetherness is to offer a Free Family Movie Night. This will include the admission, popcorn and drink. This gives children and families who might not otherwise be able to afford to go to a movie the opportunity to spend time together at a family friendly event.

The first movie, Kung Fu Panda 4, will be at the Traer Theater, March 13 at 7 p.m. On April 4 this movie will be at the Gladbrook Theater at 7 p.m.

On April 25, the Wieting Theater will play Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire at 7 p.m.

SKIP is a Community Partnership for Protecting Children, ages 0 to 18 years of age. They focus on Shared Decision Making, Neighborhood Networking, Individualized Course of Action, and Policy and Practice Changes.
