Polar Express Night

Each year the Dr. Joe Ward Elementary PTA sponsors a Polar Express night for students whose
parents have joined PTA. This year a great time was had by all as students made Christmas mugs,
had a "snowball fight", sledded across the gym, drank hot chocolate and ate cookies as
they listened to the story of the Polar Express. Students also had their pictures taken with Santa.
