Career and Technical Education and elementary students at MOBOCES took an in-school ride on The Polar Express Dec. 17, 2019; students gathered to watch the movie while enjoying hot cocoa and sugar cookies.

Afterward, they made movie-themed crafts, played games and had an indoor “snowball” fight to help celebrate the season. As a special treat, CTE Special Education Coordinator Phil Helmer dressed as The Conductor from the movie and presented students with “the first gift of Christmas” on behalf of Santa – bells from The North Pole.

Adirondack Scenic Railroad loaned the costume and donated the bells used for this event.
