The first grade teachers and students celebrated Christmas by having a Polar Express Day on December 19.  The students decorated boxes at home to look like train cars.  They brought them to school and paraded through the halls on their way to the North Pole.  When arriving at their destination they watched the movie Polar Express while sipping on Hot Cocoa and eating doughnuts.  Thank you to all the parent volunteers who made this a magical day for the students.  Merry Christmas to All!
