A Note from Holly & Tom
October 5-7, 2023
Whoa Reindeer! The time is finally here! The 86th year of the CWH Santa Claus School!
It's time to get ready for the 2023 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 86th year of classes. We are inspired and impressed by the school's 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 its kind. We will cover all the traditions and values that began 84 years 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, who 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 cannot be described as anything short of magically Christmas!
The school will be in session October 5-7, 2023. It will be held at various convenient places in Midland, Michigan. We would love you to be a part of our 2023 school year. It wouldn't be the same without you. Class begins at 9:00 a.m. on October 5, 2023 at the Midland Center for the Arts.
Come and experience what Christmas and CWH Santa Claus School dreams are made of!
Believing...Sincerely in Santa,
Holly & Tom Valent
