What to Expect at Santa's Parade
​This lively event offers something for everyone—whether you’re excited to meet Santa Claus, watch the parade, or pick up your first EdConnect coloring book for our Color My Santa competition. Kids of all ages can grab a free coloring book at the event, and we’ll have crayons on hand so young artists can get started on their masterpieces right away. It’s the perfect setting to kick off the holiday season with some creative flair!

Why Participate in Color My Santa?
​Coloring is more than a holiday activity—it’s a chance for children to express themselves, build confidence, and connect with their community. Every K-8 student who submits their Santa-themed artwork by December 1 will be entered into a contest for a chance to win a Movie Night Popcorn Family Pack, courtesy of Poppin’ in the City. 🍿 It’s a wonderful way to bring the family together for a cozy movie night, all while celebrating the holiday season.

A Fun Opportunity for the Whole Community
​The Color My Santa competition is not just about creativity; it’s a community-wide celebration. From December 3 to December 8, everyone can get involved by voting for their favorite artwork, making this a fun and interactive event for all. Kids get a chance to showcase their artistic talents and receive positive recognition, fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Mark your calendars and make sure your family joins us at Santa’s Parade! Together, we’ll launch the holiday season with joy, creativity, and festive fun. We can’t wait to see the community come together and to witness the beautiful, imaginative creations from our talented young artists.
