The Elementary School Holiday Boutique and Pancake Breakfast with Santa is a festive and family-friendly event that typically takes place during the holiday season.  It is organized by our elementary school PTA and is designed to bring the community together for a day of fun, shopping, and holiday cheer. Here's a description of this event:

Date and Location: December 9, 2023 at the Yorba Linda Packing House

Pancake Breakfast with Santa: The day typically starts with a delicious pancake breakfast where families and children can enjoy a hearty meal.  This will cost $10 a plate for adults and for kids.  Santa Claus himself is often the star of the show, making a special appearance to greet and take photos with the children. This creates a warm and festive atmosphere, allowing kids to share their holiday wishes with Santa.  Santa will have photo ops and a will do a picture session with a professional photographer.  That will cost $20 per family and they will get a professional photo with Santa.

Holiday Boutique: During and after breakfast, attendees can move to another section of the venue, usually transformed into a holiday boutique. This boutique is filled with vendors and local artisans selling a variety of holiday-themed items and gifts. Shoppers can find a wide range of products such as handmade crafts, holiday decorations, jewelry, clothing, and more. It's an excellent opportunity for people to do some holiday shopping while supporting local businesses and artists.

Activities and Entertainment: In addition to shopping and the pancake breakfast, there are often various activities and entertainment options for children. This will include a free craft station, holiday-themed games, and a Christmass movie that will be played. These activities keep kids engaged and entertained throughout the event.

Food and Refreshments: Besides the pancake breakfast, there are usually other food and beverage options available, such as hot chocolate, coffee, and snacks to keep everyone fueled and hydrated.  We seel these items to raise money toawards school field trips ect.

Raffles and Prizes: This event will have raffles/prize drawings with the chance to win exciting gifts. This adds an element of excitement to the event and encourages attendees to participate.

Community and Fundraising: This Elementary School Holiday Boutique and Pancake Breakfast with Santa often serves as a community-building and fundraising event. Proceeds from vendor booth rentals, food sales, and other activities typically go towards supporting the school or community projects, making it a great way for people to give back during the holiday season.

Festive Decorations: The venue is usually decked out in holiday decorations, with Christmas trees, wreaths, and lights to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.  We want to make everyone who walks through the doors to feel welcomed.

In summary, the Elementary School Holiday Boutique and Pancake Breakfast with Santa is a beloved community event that combines holiday spirit, family-friendly activities, and opportunities to shop for unique gifts. It's a wonderful way for schools and communities to come together during the festive season, all while supporting local businesses and raising funds for important initiatives for the school..
