Fayette Progressive Schools were able to treat students to a Polar Express Christmas event on Tuesday morning and afternoon thanks to a donation from the Altrusa Club of Washington Court House. Pictured is Buddy the Elf visiting with a family during the event at Southern State Community College.

Kelly Campbell, with the transportation department at Fayette Progressive Schools, helped in decorating the bus and delivering students to Southern State Community College for the party.

The kids had a chance to create crafts and enjoyed time with parents, teachers and other volunteers. Pictured (L to R) is Cloey and Maggie.

Literacy is an important focus of Altrusa International.
