This page is under development.  Details on the Oklahoma School should be finalized sometime in December 2024.

 

The earlier you start planning on your Holiday Season, the better prepare you are going to be.   Plus, it may be less stressful if you start early.  This June school is a perfect time to kick off your plans. 

Santas and Mrs. Claus need to start early in the year if they want to make the best of the training they receive. So, getting your training done early allows you the time to apply what you have learned.

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.

LODGING – A block of rooms has been reserved at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, San Antonio Airport.  The room rate is just $104 per night and includes: Free Self-Parking, Complimentary Breakfast, and Complimentary Wi-Fi in guest rooms/Lobby.  Click her to Book your room for School4Santas

Special Oath certificates, suitable for framing will be presented to all attendees.
