The Might Mick Has a New Job
The Mighty Mick has a new job.
A few years back North Pole News shared the inspiring reindeer story of The Mighty Mick, who battled back from sickness to compete in the Reindeer Games and to earn a special spot on Santa’s team on Christmas Eve.
This year the Mighty Mick has another special mission to serve.
Mickey, and his trainer, Elf Big Sled Ted, have been assigned to a new school set up at the Reindeer Barn at the North Pole. This new facility is part training center and part medical facility. It is being set up to help reindeer who are sick or disabled to be conditioned to serve in Operation Merry Christmas.
The story of the Mighty Mick and Big Sled Ted inspired the creation of the school.
If you might recall, Mick was born with some birth defects that stunted his development. He was taken in by Big Sled Ted, a very talented and important elf who works in the Sleigh Department, who felt that with a little work Mick could be useful to Santa.
Ted and Mickey worked together for a long time. Big Sled Ted had no training and only his love for reindeer to guide him. Over time, he was able to give Mickey the strength and abilities he needed to excel. He very famously won the Reindeer Games, against all odds, in 2022, an accomplishment that gave him a special assignment from Santa on Christmas Eve.
Since that time both Mickey and Ted have continued to work with other reindeer with similar challenges. They have several promising prospects in their small school.

The mighty reindeer school
Thank you, Elf Harold! What a sweet, amazing story! Elf Ted and Mick touch me. If possible, I hope I can help the reindeer together someday. My big brother had Cerebral palsy, and I helped him with my family, so I hope my experience could be helpful to the reindeer. Thank you, Elves Frank and Crash; I’ll think of their school name, too!
I look forward to hearing about the update! Merry Christmas! XD
I’m so happy to hear about the new reindeer school. I know what it’s like to have challenging obstacles to try and overcome to just feel like you belong. Big Sled Ted you are a true hero to see how with a little extra love and special care what a difference it can make in someone’s life. Keep up the great work you and Mick are doing. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.🥰❤️
