Cooper Elementary School will host a benefit tonight for one of their families who lost their home in a recent fire. The event was originally scheduled for June 15 but was rescheduled for tonight.

Since Cooper is closing this year, their PTA funds are distributed to other schools and cannot be used to help the family.

Tonight the school will host a dinner and a movie event at Cooper to raise funds to help replace all that was lost. The public is invited to attend and enjoy a good movie and meal and to help the family.

The dinner will be an open taco bar and the movie shown is "Hotel for Dogs." Cooper Elementary School is located at 1901 S.W. Genesse St.

A $5 suggested donation is asked, but any donation amount is welcome. All proceeds will go to the replacement of household items and the kids toys.
