The hot cocoa and cookies are flowing as the train horn is blowing, this morning the train conductor is welcoming students at Regional Day School "All Board the Polar Express!"
This is a special day each year when the Regional Day School (RDS) staff welcome students for a special movie morning featuring The Polar Express, a classic holiday film. Student Chris started the day for RDS as he has been proudly announcing the Pledge of Allegiance all month and singing a verse to a new holiday song each morning. Then his classmates were welcomed to join him and the staff in the school's all-purpose room for a movie morning.
Students grabbed their tickets and were greeted at the door of the movie screening room by their very own Polar Express Conductor, RDS School Psychologist Phoebe Pennypacker who started this Regional Day School tradition many years ago. As done in the movie, the conductor punched lots of holes into each of their tickets drawing giggles and smiles from all.
The warm smell of cookies and hot cocoa was present as students took their seats ahead of the movie screening. The Manchester PTA not only provided special treats to compliment the movie but passed them out to the VIP movie attendees on platters. Before the lights dimmed and the movie started, students and staff were enjoying treats and a wonderful time together!
Currently, the movie is running for all to enjoy. It was a fun way to start the day at Regional Day School this holiday season.
