One of my firm beliefs is that Santas need to start early in the year if they want to make the best of the training they are receiving. So, getting your training done by summers-end allows you the time necessary to apply what you have learned.

As with all of our schools, this is for all Santas, Mrs. Claus and those interested in the Santa industry. Whether you are real-bearded or theatrically bearded; professional or just a volunteer, this school has something for everyone.

20TH ANNIVERSARY – To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of School4Santas, the agenda has been revised and updated.   With so many changes in our industry during the past decade, I feel it is important for the school to keep up with the times.

The 20th Anniversary course book, “Behind the Red Suit, The Business of Santa,” has some new sections and is included with all registrations.   Alumni may also order a copy of the 20th Anniversary course book at a discount. 

REGISTRATION COSTS – Registration for the two-day standard school is just $319, $479 for a couple. This includes 16 hours of training, the 275+ page course book and your personalized diploma, or two diplomas for a couple. Travel, meals and lodging are not included.

Alumni Rates are just $249 per person, and $349 per couple and include the full course and diplomas, no course book.

MAKING THE MOMENT – For 2022, I am returning to hosting just a two-day school.  For those wanting the third day of training, “Making the Moment,” I am offering the 6-hour home study course for just $99 when ordered with to the regular school registration.  This is a $30 savings over the normal price. 

This will include a thumb-drive with the full 6-hours of my advanced training, “Making the Moment,” with concentration and practical application on photography, posing, special events, and advice, techniques and almost 200 photos and diagrams for the Professional Santa and Mrs. Claus.  Special certificates acknowledging advanced study, are included.

LODGING – A block of rooms has been reserved at the TRU by Hilton – Coppell DFW Airport North, 1560 Point West Blvd, Coppell, TX 75019.  The rate per night is $107 for a single or double occupancy. This includes Free WiFi, Complimentary Airport Shuttle, Free Parking,  Pool, Fitness Center and Complementary daily breakfast.  The deadline to reserve a room is June 30, so call today, 469-702-6622.  CLICK HERE FOR TRU by HILTON RESERVATIONS.

SANTA CLAUS OATH – At the close of our first day of class, around 4:30 pm on Saturday, I will host a presentation of the Santa Claus Oath. All Santas and Mrs. Claus from the region are most welcome to join the class in the Oath ceremony. One does not need to attend the school in order to take part in the ceremony. Special Oath certificates, suitable for framing will be presented to all attendees.

SATURDAY EVENING DINNER – Following the Oath ceremony, as we have done with all of our Schools, we will have a special dinner/social at The Cracker Barrel Restaurant, 2700 Grapevine Mills Pkwy, Grapevine, TX 76051.   This will be coordinated with the Lone Star Santas.   Again, all regional Santas, Mrs. Claus, families and friends are most welcome to attend. You do not need to attend the school to join us for dinner. (Separate checks please.)

GRADUATION – Finally, at the close of class on Sunday, again around 4:30 p.m. we will hold a ceremony to present diplomas to all students.
