Farmingdale School District

There’s Snow Place Like Farmingdale

On the morning of December 6, Farmingdale High School opened its doors for the annual Deck the Halls Holiday Breakfast. This beloved tradition fills bellies with delicious food and fills hearts with a sense of togetherness. The Farmingdale Council of PTAs ensures each year that the magic of the holidays reaches every corner of the community while reminding everyone of the power of kindness and generosity.

Elves worked their magic to turn the Farmingdale High School commons into a winter wonderland capable of melting even the Grinch's icy heart. The Deck the Halls celebration unfolded with a mouthwatering hot breakfast served by the Board of Education. A vibrant DJ entertained the families with cheerful holiday tunes while guests were invited to indulge in games and crafts. Tables adorned with raffle baskets lined the area while sizzling hot chocolate stations added to the festive atmosphere. Enchanting characters from Frozen, Charlie Brown, The Grinch, and the Polar Express wandered through the crowd to bring joy to all. The celebrations reached new levels of excitement when the legendary Mr. and Mrs. Claus arrived to captivate guests and pose for photographs.

Dozens of volunteers gathered to support the event. Theatre students from Farmingdale High School dressed in full costume to warmly welcome guests and pose for pictures. Enthusiastic National Honor Society members served as Santa’s helpers. These students guided young guests through various craft stations where they could make ornaments, reindeer food, and holiday cookies. Children also participated in an exciting elf scavenger hunt and dropped off their letters to Santa in a special mailbox.

The annual holiday breakfast acts as a charity event with 100% of the proceeds used to purchase holiday gifts for local families.
