Students at Northside Elementary School in Monroe earned tickets by following expected behavior and by donating items to the seasonal food drive. Tickets were then used as votes toward a favorite of six movie choices. The winner this year was “Incredibles 2,” which was viewed Nov. 21 in the gymnasium covered in blankets, pillows and stuffed animals.
