What do you do during summer? What’s your favorite cookie? How many elves are there in the world? Can you count them, please?
Those are just a few of the questions that local first-graders had for Santa this year.
The Brown County Democrat asks all Brown County first-grade teachers to make letters to Santa one of their classroom activities each year.
Inside this section, in their own words, you’ll learn all about the students’ families and pets, how they feel about their previous gifts, their curiosities about life at the North Pole, and of course, what they’d like to see under their trees this year.
We present these letters un-spelling-corrected as a keepsake for kids to look back on later in life. And, you’ve got to admit, they’re much cuter to read this way.
Enjoy!
Merry Christmas from the staff of the Brown County Democrat: Sara, Suzannah, Abigail and Larry
