A Note from Holly
Whoa Reindeer! The time is finally here! The 80th Anniversary year of the CWH Santa Claus School!
It's time to get ready for the 2017 Santa School year! The Santa Claus legend has endured many centuries. The CWH Santa Claus School has BECOME a legend as it enters this century with its 80th year of classes. We are inspired and impressed by the schools history and the Santa Claus legend.
We come together to share our common love of Christmas and the magical spirit of Santa Claus. The School will be filled with the love, laughter, and learning that has made it the oldest and most famous school of it's kind. We will cover all the traditions and values that began 80 year ago, along with new and updated information to keep us all in good shape; physically, mentally, and spiritually.
During the Santa School, you will meet Santas and Mrs. Santas from around the world, whom together have over 1000 years of Santa experience. Everyone will contribute stories and suggestions that make up the Santa lore. The knowledge gained and the wonderful people attending can not be described as anything short of magically Christmas!
The school will be in session October 26th, 27th and 28th. It will be held at various convenient places in Midland, Michigan. We would love you to be a part of our 2017 school year. It wouldn't be the same without you. Class begins at 9:00am on October 26th, 2017.
