All aboard! 🚂🎅❄️ Hillcrest Elementary was transformed into a wintry wonderland this week as students took a magical round trip to the North Pole via The Polar Express. After getting their golden ticket stamped, they boarded the "train" in the gym and listened as Media Specialist Ms. Mann read the classic story while enjoying hot cocoa and cookies. 🍪🥤The hardworking staff went above and beyond to create decorations that really enhanced the experience. This will be a day the students won't forget!
