Emerson J. Dillon Middle School students had an opportunity to pick out gifts for their families during the annual Polar Express event prior to break.
The event featured a wide selection of items generously donated by staff and community members, exemplifying the spirit of giving and unity that defines the Phoenix community. Students eagerly selected presents for their loved ones, wrapping them to create a special surprise for the holiday season.
“The Polar Express event is one of the highlights of our school year,” said EJD Principal Brett Doody. “It’s heartwarming to see the joy on students’ faces as they pick out gifts for their families. This event would not be possible without the incredible generosity of our staff and community members, and we’re so grateful for their support.”
This tradition not only brings holiday cheer but also teaches students the importance of giving and gratitude. The event continues to foster a sense of connection and kindness among students, staff, and families.
