Blue Ox School Participates in Popular Winter Showcase!

On December ninth, Blue Ox students took part in what has become a major Christmas tradition on the North Coast by decorating the Blue Ox trolley and riding in the 2006 Trucker's Christmas Convoy Parade. Blue Ox students spent countless hours cleaning and decorating the interior and exterior of the trolley, which has now become a popular attraction in the long-running Christmas parade.

Reporting from the Scene

Ox teacher Don Hoch was there on the scene reporting on the parade for 97.7 FM KKDS Blue Ox Youth and Community Radio. The station took calls all night, reporting on the parade's progress and directing potential viewers to good vantage points along the route. As a founding member of the Blue Ox School and a long-time parade aficionado, Don provided a compassionate and educated parade's eye view for the people of Humboldt County.

Happy Trolleydays!

This has become a popular tradition for the Blue Ox School for many reasons. It gives our students yet another chance to be in the public, making a positive difference in their community. It spreads a bit of Christmas cheer and brings smiles to many faces. And of course it allows the Blue Ox trolley a moment of glory each year and a complete make-over. All in all, it was a very merry Christmas celebration for all those involved.
