Letters to Santa from Ada 3rd graders

Studens from Miss Daniels' 3rd Grade Class at Ada Elementary sent these letters to Santa and shared them with the Icon. This installment is half of the letters. Another batch will appear on Christmas Eve.

Dear Santa,

Here are a few things I would like for Christmas. First, I will want a phone that is a real phone. I would really like an iPhone 13, so I am in contact with my mom. Next, I will like a school set. So I will practice so I’m good at school. Lastly, I would like a slime set that has all the solutions. Why I want a slime set is because it will be fun. All in all that's what I want for Christmas. P.S. How fast does Rudolph fly?

Sincerely,

Weekend Doctor: The virus or the shot?

By William Kose, MD, JD, Blanchard Valley Health System

When it comes to COVID-19 immunity, one of the issues people consider is whether to get a vaccine or acquire natural immunity through having an active COVID-19 infection. That means getting the virus rather than the vaccine shot.
