A special holiday train arrived at Hammond Elementary on Thursday, Dec. 19.
The train was described by principal Adam Stanley as a “1/5 scale festive train” in an online post by SD42.
Made from repurposed signs, a retired guinea pig hutch, and black paper from the copy room, the train delivered candy canes to classrooms full of students.
The contraption was driven by vice principal Hannah Baerg, who was able to handle its asymmetry, rear steering, and limited visibility – from a single small window.
