OKC Charter School Students Programming Christmas Light Event

Students at John Rex Charter School in Oklahoma City are inviting residents to join in on their holiday fun.

The school's Light Up The Holiday Show begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, and middle school-aged children programed and designed the 16,000 lights using what they have learned in school.

The lights will be up year-round, so students can program them for other special occasions and holidays.
