2024 Letters to Santa, part 1

Students in Miss Daniels' 3rd grade class at Ada Elementary School are writing to Santa Claus. The Icon will share these in several installments. Today's letters are from Talia, Keegan, Kenneth, Parker and Margot.

Dear Santa,

My name is Talia and I have a lot of questions. What do you give your reindeer to make them fly? Mrs. Claus, what is your favorite cookie? How old are you? Santa, how do you get across the world in one night?

These are the reasons why I should be on the nice list. First, on Thanksgiving I helped my mom’s friend because my mom was gone. I helped her cook. I helped take care of the boys while she worked. Next, I help her learn English because she is Arabic. Lastly, I always do my homework.                       

These are a few things I want for Christmas. Santa, can I get a watch that texts and plays games? Also I would like an Ipad with lots of games on it? Can I please get some hair bows and hair ties? These are just a few of the things I want for Christmas.

This was the first time the Ada chapter had all grade levels participating in this career development event (CDE). For the competition, they had to create a resume and cover letter, fill out a job application, conduct a personal interview and write a follow-up letter.
