SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Santa's Breakfast at Tahoe Valley Elementary School this past weekend was a great celebration of the holidays provided by the school's Parent Teacher Association.

About 400 people enjoyed pancakes, sausages, fruit, juice, hot chocolate, and coffee which was provided to students and their families free of charge. Each grade level also created themed baskets for a raffle, the only portion of the day that was a fundraiser.

On hand were two legends, Santa Claus and the Tahoe Knight Monster mascot - both a big hit with the kids!

They say it takes a village, and it took a village to bring this year's Christmas Tree to the Heavenly Village in South Lake Tahoe. This is by far the most beautiful tree we have set up in the ten years we have been doing this for our community.

I would like to thank the following folks who are involved with this labor of love project:

CHP Officer Burke and Stevens for providing the escort down Highway 50
Ed Cook Crane Service & Tom Loomis
F & B Construction's Flipper, Brent, and Dave for providing the truck and trailer to transport the tree
