The Holiday Express is our version of the Polar Express with a cultural twist. The event celebrates many cultures and traditions within our community.

The Holiday Express will take place during school hours.  We seek parent volunteers to represent and share their knowledge about various winter holidays. Please get in touch with the DEI Committee to become a volunteer by Friday, Dec 13th.

If you do not have a specific holiday you’d like to represent but would still like to volunteer, we are also looking for a few volunteers to help usher the students from booth to booth to keep things organized.
