Breakfast with Santa Set for December 14 at R-MA
The senior class of Randolph-Macon Academy (RMA) brings holiday cheer to the community with its annual Breakfast with Santa event. Scheduled for Saturday, December 14, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., the festivities will take place at RMA’s Middle School.
This family-friendly event features a delicious breakfast, a photo booth for capturing memories with Santa, and fun activities for all ages. Cadet Captain Ivana Ocran, Cadet Major Elena Leasure, Cadet Sergeants Sauua Saly Bouhadou Boichot, and Virginia Grieb lead the charge. These cadets have been working hard to ensure the event brings joy to the entire community.
“We’ve got something for everyone—breakfast, games, photos with Santa, and plenty of holiday spirit,” said Cadet Major Elena Leasure.
Santa Claus is flying in from the North Pole with some help from RMA’s aviation enthusiasts. The cadets, dressed as Santa’s helpers, will make sure everyone has a jolly good time.
Tickets are available at the door, and all proceeds go toward supporting the senior class’s future activities. “This is not just about celebrating the holidays,” said Cadet Captain Ivana Ocran. “It’s about connecting with our community and giving families a joyful experience.”
RMA, known for its strong community ties, provides opportunities for students to develop leadership skills while giving back. This event is a perfect example of the school’s commitment to creating meaningful connections.
Make Breakfast with Santa a part of your holiday tradition. Enjoy a morning of food, fun, and festive cheer while supporting local students and their endeavors.
