All Aboard The Polar Express!
Join us for a reading of Chris Van Allsburg’s holiday classic, The Polar Express, the story of a young boy who boards a powerful magical train headed to the North Pole on Christmas Eve. What unfolds is a journey of self-discovery, which shows the boy that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
