Students, teachers and community volunteers celebrated Polar Express Day at Woonsocket Elementary Monday, Dec. 21 before letting out Wednesday for Christmas vacation.
The Woonsocket hallway was decorated as a train, complete with the track and snowflakes coming down from the ceiling overhead. Teachers and volunteers dressed up in holiday garb or train-engineering outfits for the day, and students were allowed to wear their pajamas to school.
The book “Polar Express” was read aloud to the elementary in the morning, followed by some “Minute to Win It” games. They finished their day with movies.
