On the evening of Friday, December 2nd, WHS came alive with the rumble and roar of holiday excitement that only 'The Polar Express' can bring. With help from the Laconia Santa Fund, the PTO hosted a splendid evening of treats, gifts, and a holiday movie on the WHS big screen.
For several years running, the WHS community has come together to share a memorable night that is all about the magic of the holidays, family, joy, and wonder. Our Polar Express night features our families coming into the school (most in 'jammies'), laying out a blanket on our multi-purpose room floor, and settling in to see a holiday movie together in high-definition video and cinema sound. Our WHS-PTO accepts a $2 donation per family, or a holiday child's gift to donate to a local charity. Families are served hot chocolate and cookies provided by the PTO, and are given a Polar Express book and a stuffed holiday stocking provided by our local Santa Fund. We have also been fortunate to have a special guest from the North Pole join us for the event.
If you missed us this year at the WHS-PTO Polar Express, be sure that you do not do so again next year. Be sure to answer the call, "All aboard!!!" when you hear it in December, 2012.
Happy Holidays to all Woodland Heights family and friends!
