The Honey Bear Preschool in Alliance recently took a ride on the BNSF mini-train to get into the holiday spirit.
Children got to ride on the BNSF mac-train during their "Polar Express" themed day at school.
"This opportunity definitely enhanced our day," teacher Sara Hicks said. "Honey Bear students and teachers sang Christmas songs while strolling through the neighborhood. They loved spotting and talking about the wonderful decorations. Christmas magic was in the air. Snowflake and Jingle [elves] even took a ride with them."
Hicks said the kids dressed in pajamas, enjoyed hot chocolate and sugar cookies for snacks during the theme day. They also created a Christmas train craft and played a train race game.
"Us at Honey Bear are so thankful for the present and former preschool parents who made this possible including Kassandra Niemeier, Melissa Long, Bret Bridges, Jake Toedtli and Dustin Hicks."
