MovieDate — Narnia
Step into the Wardrobe. Every great adventure begins with a transition. For this MovieDate, we are exploring the concept of the "Hidden Doorway." Just as the Pevensie children stumbled upon a magical kingdom behind a row of coats, our families are discovering a whole new ecosystem within Sunnyside 1.0. We’re using The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to talk about the wonder—and the courage—it takes to step out of the "ordinary" and into a village where you are called to be more.
The village isn't just a place; it's a world you step into.
The MovieDate Experience:
The Sibling Dynamic: Observing how four very different personalities find their roles in a new world.
The Atmosphere of Wonder: A post-movie huddle on the "magic" of community—how being together turns a "winter" (isolation) into a "spring" (connection).
The 1.0 Sovereignty: Introducing the idea that in our village, every child has a seat at the table. Like the thrones at Cair Paravel, Sunnyside 1.0 is built to recognize the potential in every member.
What this MovieDate Builds:
Imagination & Vision: Encouraging students to see the "extraordinary" potential in their everyday social interactions.
Transition Skills: Building the confidence to step into new environments and embrace the "magic" of the unknown.
Tribe Identity: Solidifying the idea that once you step through the wardrobe, you are part of the Narnia (Sunnyside) family forever.
Who It’s For:
The Dreamers: Kids who love the idea that there is more to the world than meets the eye.
The New Explorers: Families who have recently "stepped through the door" of Sunnyside 1.0.
The Fantasy Fans: Anyone who wants to experience one of the greatest "Village vs. Villain" stories ever told.
This is the afternoon we realize the world is much bigger than we thought.
