The North Polar Express

From Arkansas Arts Academy

Hello North Polar Express Riders!
I sent this note hoping Santa and his crew would pass it along!
This weekend, the North Polar Express was absolutely incredible! Records were broken with attendance. They have never had attendance like this, EVER!! Watching nearly 2000 (or more? We aren't quite sure!) faces of children AND adults light up was truely the best! Seeing children of all ages getting to enjoy such a unique experience, while not having to worry about being able to afford it, truly warms your heart during this time of year.
The little chocolate chip cheeks and hot chocolate mustaches was just the icing on the cake!

I am so thankful the Arkansas Arts Academy PreK-6 PTA got the opportunity to be a part of that.
Thank you for bringing your family to this event! Thank you for your donations given at this event! We hope you all had the best time and we all wish you the happiest of holidays!
Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone just a heads up if you're on your way to come see Santa! There is about an hour wait to the train. Parking is slim right now but we are still here. So make sure you plan ahead!
