Santa’s Sidekick Shop Update ❄️🎅
Santa and his trusty sidekick tried to make it across the parking lot this morning… and let’s just say even they couldn’t handle the ice. After one too many almost–North-Pole-worthy slips, they agreed it’s best to postpone the Santa’s Sidekick Shop until next week!
We plan (pending Santa-approved weather) to offer extended shopping hours on Dec. 9 & 10 from 10am–6pm. As always, we’ll keep watching the forecast like elves on cocoa duty and will update you as soon as we can. We fully expect to add more days and times—because everyone deserves a chance to shop!
And don’t worry… Santa’s sleigh is still overflowing. We have even MORE items waiting to be put out because our school community is unbelievably generous.
Thanks for your patience, your safety, and your sense of humor. Stay warm, stay safe, and keep an eye out for updates—Santa and his sidekick are determined to get this shop open without ice skating their way there! ⛸️🎁✨
