During the festive fun at Brampton Primary Academy’s Christmas fair, Santa Claus took a brief nap, giving some of his playful elves the perfect opportunity to escape the grotto and enjoy a ride on the Polar Express!

The school has since received an email from Santa, who has safely returned to the North Pole. He believes the escapee elves didn’t board his sleigh and are still hiding somewhere in the school. Unfortunately, with December now upon us, Santa is too busy preparing for Christmas to return and collect them. He plans to pick them up when he’s in the area on the 25th!

Santa has warned school leaders that these elves are very mischievous, so the whole school community will need to keep an eye out for any chaos they might cause. Children are encouraged to report any trouble to their teacher immediately.

Be prepared, everyone—we don’t know what these playful elves are capable of!
