EASTLAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Dear Santa,

How are you? How’s Rudolph doing? Are you excited for Christmas, because I am! I have so questions for you.

Am I on the nice list? Because I think I am because I have done the dishes, picked up the playroom, and cleaned the house. This is why I think I’m going to go on the nice list.

Now time for the things I want. I don’t want too much, but I do want a ps5, a new bike, another football, a tube of baseballs, and football cards! Now, here’s what my family wants. My brother wants a video game and my mom needs more money for bills. So please get these things and have a good night.

Sincerely, Kayden Girton

Dear Santa, Hi Santa, I’ve been good this year, and I can tell you some things I have done that are good.

I should be on the nice list this year. I helped my brother get up. I helped rake up the leaves with my brother when he did it by himself. I play with my brother when he had no one to play with. I helped my brothers get their frisbee out of the tree.

Now can I tell you what I want for Christmas? Okay, what I want for Christmas is a PS-5, a Fortnite piece for my Nintendo Switch, a real jetpack, real speed boots, and one more thing, real rocket boots. And one more thing, the real Tony Stark suit. One more thing, my sister wants a Barbie dream house. My brother wants a hoverboard, so that’s all I need to say. Santa, just don’t drink too much milk or cookies. So, bye. Oh, and just beware of my dog. If there is one loud sound, my dog will bark. Be safe flying in your sleigh. Bye!

Sincerely, Reid Dugger

Good luck on your trip. I wish you a merry Christmas. Thank you for all you do. Also, beware of my dog. You have to be really quiet because if you are too loud you might wake her up. If she hears you, she will start barking. Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Sincerely, Boston Hubbard

Dear Santa, Hello! I have some wants, things to say, and things to ask.

For my good deeds. There’s that time I helped my brother with my game, when I got the mail lots of times, and helped my brother get a cookie so my mom doesn’t have to (with permission).

Here are a few of my questions. What’s your favorite cookie? What’s Rudolph’s favorite treat, and what elf is working the hardest?

Dear Santa, Hi, Santa. I have a question for you: does every house have cokes and milk for you? I think that I should be on the nice list because I helped my mom clean the house, I helped my mom with my sister Addi, and I helped my mimi rake her yard. I would like these things for Christmas: a green pen, popits, slime, Lego friends, and a pug.  My sister loves playdough, daddy dolls, cats, and dogs. I hope you have great trip to my house. Be safe my mimi’s dogs are loud.

Sincerely, Lexi Hartman

Dear Santa, Merry Christmas! Santa, I have a few questions for you. Does Rudolph lead your sleigh every Christmas? What is your favorite kind of cookie? I like all cookies.

I think I am on the good list because I help set the table and I help put the ornaments on the tree.

Dear Santa,

How are you? Are you having fun making toys? How is Rudolph, is he okay? Anyway, I have been super good. For example, I helped my neighbors pick up sticks. I also helped my dad with work. I helped Payson pick up his tub. I also helped a friend with a 9s chart. I’ve been kind of mean but I really deserve to be on the nice list!

I really have very important things to ask you. How do you make so many presents in one night? How many reindeer do you have? How is

Dear Santa, Hi! How are you? I have been really good this year. In the summer I babysat my cousin. I even did ten chores when I got home, and I cleaned the yard. I’ve been trying my best to get on the nice list.

This is what I want for Christmas. I mostly want a Darnell Mooney & Justin Fields rainbow card - both cased. And I want a drone. My friend Reid really wants some rainbow football cards, so do I. My friend Payson also

Now here are those wants. I want a Squishmallow or more, a computer mouse, and a RC bulldozer. A few things for others are a cat toy for my cat, a toy for my hamster and a drone for my brother. I hope you enjoy the holiday, and one more thing, watch out for my cat and hamster.

Sincerely, Henry Woessner

Dear Santa, How are you Santa? Are you ready for Christmas? I have been good so far, so I think I can go on the nice list. Here is a reason why. I got rewarded for being good at school.

Things I want: I need a new phone and a new bunk bed. And I think my sister wants have a squishy.

Things for others: money and food

Here are some ideas if you don’t know what to get me:lip gloss, a new mouse for my laptop, and Squishmallows.

My cousin Leah has been good this year, and she would like colored pencils, markers, and pastels. Have a good Christmas.

Sincerely,  Macie Lilly

MRS. EICH’S third-grade class

Dear Santa,

Hi Santa, how are you? I’ve been meaning to ask you a couple of questions. How do you fly reindeer? How do your elves make so many toys? How many cookies do you eat every year? Those are my questions for this Christmas. Now let’s get to the story.

Here are some good deeds I’ve done this year. For example, I helped my friend Leila. I helped stand up for my teammate when she got stung by a wasp and the singer got stuck in her finger, ow. There is a bunch of good stuff I did this year.

Here are some things I would like for Christmas. I would LOVE an art canvas, some paint, maybe some Squishmallows, and an easy bake oven. Some things for other people are some dog toys for my dog Finn, a baseball for Brock, a unicorn pillow for Reese. Work tools for my dad, and a best mom ever poster for my mom.

Sincerely, Paige Hartman

Dear Santa, Merry Christmas, Santa! I love Christmas and you do too. I have some questions for you. Can you make toys that have trailers, but aren’t out yet. The thing I want the most is Pokémon

Violet. It is not out until November, 18 2022. You should have a good eye. My dog might wake us. Have the best Christmas.

Sincerely, Parker Dodd

Dear Santa, Hi, Santa! Are you excited about the holidays? I wonder how Rudolph is doing? I have been really good this year. I think I should be on the nice list. I help set the table for family dinners. And I help my sister when she is sick. My family is excited for the holidays too.

This year I don’t want much, but I really want some hair chalk, Jojo Siwa bows, and some Whatever After books (just 7-13). My sister wants a Barbie plane. And my dog Teddy would like some bandanas.

Santa, I wish you some safe travels and watch out for my dog teddy. He doesn’t sleep in a kennel so he might bark at you for an alarm. Be careful Santa.

Sincerely, Teagan Clenney

Dear Santa, How are your reindeer? How’s Mrs. Claus? Are they good? I am doing well. I hope you are too.

Here are some good things I have done this year. I helped my aunt clean after we were done baking cookies.

This year for Christmas I want Squashmallows, a Lego set, and a stuffed pig.My dog wants new toys and my kitten wants a new mouse toy. I wish you a merry Christmas.

Sincerely, Kaylee Sweet

Dear Santa, Hi Santa. How are you and the reindeer? I have done a lot of good deeds such as playing with my cats, doing homework, and being good at my friend’s house.

Some things I want for Christmas are Star Wars Lightsabers, Squishmallows, a Beyblade, and Bakugan. My cat would want a scratching post.

I hope you have a good trip to my house. I hope you will be safe. I hope your reindeer are good for you. I hope to see you soon!

Sincerely, Liam Davis

Dear Santa, Hi, Santa! How are you? Guess who is my favorite person who brings them stuff? You are right! It is you! By the way, what is your favorite kind of cookie?

The things I want are a toy combine, a Justin Fields full set tip (he is the qb and his number is one), a toy plow, a pad that looks like a field, a really big thing of mountain dew, a football rebounder, an iPhone, 200 dollars, 500 rainbow Bears and Chiefs (each team), a chocolate lab, black spray paint, LED lights, a microphone, an xbox, and a tv.

I think I am on the good list because this year I cleaned my room, I helped my mom bring in groceries, and I helped my dad clean the fire station.  Good luck! I hope you make it. By the way, the cats like to try to get in.

Sincerely, Payson Barnes

Dear Santa, How have you been? If you don’t mind, I will start, so how have things been? How has the North Pole been? How has Mrs. Claus been? One big question, do you have bad elves?

What I want is a hoverboard, a real husky, an iPhone 14 plus, Squishmallows, and iPad. My sister wants a lol dreamhouse.

I should be on the nice list because I help clean, cook, and I help with my sister!

Sincerely, Hazel Zinsou

Good and safe travels! Watch out for my cat, Jemma, she will claw and bite.

Sincerely, Carly Shippert

Dear Santa, Hey Santa, how many presents have you delivered in one year? How many kids do you deliver to in one year?

You will be proud of me with how many good deeds I did. I picked up trash beside the roads. I also helped mom and dad, and I read to my sister. I also played with my sister so she wouldn’t cry.

Shannon EASTLAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Dear Santa, Hi, how are you doing? Are you ready for Christmas? I am! I am excited for Christmas! Santa, I have a question for you. How is snow made?

This is what I want for Christmas. I want a Polly Pocket, phone, tablet, and a bunk bed. My cat wants treats and a huge cat house. My mom wants matching pajamas.

First, I should be on the good list because I have cleaned the park. Also, I helped my dad. I also fed my dogs and let them outside for my dad. I also helped my friend clean his yard, his house, and his garage. I also took out the garbage for him and my dad, and I helped my friend find his lego set and his football. It was at the park. I also helped my dad put out the cookies.

Second, these are the things I want for Christmas. I want football cards, a Ps5, better internet, an iPhone 14 pro max, and money.

Third, things my brother, dad, and dogs want. My brother wants a ps4, and my dad wants a new tv and new phone. My dogs want a lot of bones to chew on.

Finally, I hope you get this letter Santa. I have worked so hard this year to be on the good list. Happy Christmas!

Sincerely, Carter Moshure

I have been good this year. I helped my brother learn football while my dad was busy. I helped my dad make brownies. That was a lot of work, and I help make cookies for you every year. I will decorate the cookies special for you.

Here is a list of all the things I want: microphone, Rainbow high dolls, Shadow high dolls, iPhone 13, computer, Squishmallows, Scary Places the book series, O.M.G dolls, L.O.L. dolls, and please make my grandpa alive. Here is a list I want you to get for my family: A girlfriend for my dog, and money for my brothers, my mom, and my dad.

Watch out for my dog on Christmas Eve. Hope you have a great year and holidays. Merry Christmas and hope you like my cookies. Have a great trip.

Sincerely, Evelyn Solomon

Dear Santa, Hi, how are you doing, Santa? How do you get the stuff to make the toys? I think I was good, and here are some reasons. I helped my mom and dad pick weeds for hours.

Here are some things I want. I want a pair of headphones and a PS5. Here are some things for others. Please get AirPods and a hairless cat for my sister, and a fancy dress for my mom.

Sincerely, Grady Mullen

Dear Santa, Hi! How are you, Santa? How do you fit in chimneys? When is your birthday? I have been very helpful to my mom and my baby sister. I help my mom with laundry.

Santa, I want a Barbie house, clothes, shoes, phone, a rainbow bed, and a Squishmallow. My baby sister

would like a big girl bed. My other sister would like some new shoes and a Tonne pillow. Have safe travels and watch out for the animals.

ready to have really good cookies and some hot chocolate, so you do not get cold. Be ready for my dog. She is really loud.

Dear Santa,

How many cookies do you eat during Christmas? I’ve always wanted to know. We lay out some cookies for you. I watch you on Santa tracker. I will make sure you come to our house. I will leave my iPad rolling downstairs where I will see you. I have been a good boy. I’ve been cleaning my cards, binders, and binder sleeves up. I want more binders, more cards, binder sleeves, and cases. Have a safe trip.

Love, Isaac Murphy

I want more American girl dolls and an American doll house that is big. My dogs wound like treats, my brother wound like football cards, Mom wound like cooking pans and candles, and Dad wound like a Yeti. My cat would like toys.

Sincerely, Noah Houston

Dear Santa,

How are things going at the North Pole? How are the elves this year? When will the elf on the shelves come? Are you ready for Christmas? I am!

I have been very good this year. I have cleaned up my toy room. I will help with the new calves that we will show, I wake up happy in the morning, and I have been nice this year.

For Christmas I would like the Schleich Frisian Stallion, the Schleich Haflinger Mare, the Schleich Mustang Stallion, the Schleich Cafe, and the Schleich Tack Store. This year for Christmas my dad would like some new tools, my mom would like some Hey Dudes and a new wheel barrow for the barn. Elliana, my sister, would like the Bluey set and some Dino Ranch Toys. My stepdad, Brenden, would like some more Iowa shirts. Randee would like some more cooking stuff, and Paislee would like some stuffed animals.

This year I will be with my dad. I was wondering if you could stop by the elementary school and give Shelly Rosa, our pet tortoise, a strawberry as a Christmas gift. Have a great holiday!

Sincerely, Jocelyn Ruppert

Dear Santa, Hi, do you have any more reindeer

We have been helping my family. Can I get an iPod, a hoverboard, a lava lamp, bean bags, and a ps5, please? I hope you have a great day Santa. What is your favorite elf and why?

Sincerely, Kensley Kaus

Dear Santa, Good morning, Santa. How has your year been? It was probably a very hard-working year for you. I have some questions for you: How many presents do you make in a year? How many elves do you have? Am I on the nice list? I hope I am. If I am not, then here are some reasons I should have been. I have been good and helped out my parents a lot, so I should be on the nice list.

Things that I want this year is a Fernado Tatis Jr. jersey, an Odell Beckam Jr. jersey, and tickets to a Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors basketball game. Here are some things that my sister wants. She wants some new AirPods and slime. My dog probably wants a new chewy toy because she breaks all of them. My cat probably wants some food because she loves her food, and my dog eats all of it. My dad wants a new guitar, and my mom probably some more hot chocolate and coffee.

I hope you have nice travels. Be

Dear Santa, Hello Santa! How have you been? Are your reindeer ready? How do your reindeer fly? I know I’m ready for this amazing Christmas! I have worked super hard to get on the nice list. For example, I always help my sisters when they need help, I help mom and dad with baby Lucie, I help fold laundry, and much more! I definitely deserve to be on the nice list!

This year for Christmas, I would like a Squishmallow. My family has their wish lists ready as well. For example, my dog, Beau, would like a new toy to replace the one that he destroyed. And my sister, Elise, would like a stuffed monkey, even though she already has what seems like a million. My other sister, Corinne, would like a kitten. She has wanted one for ages, but it would be hard to keep it away from Beau. And finally, my baby sister, Lucy, wants a new sleeper, so she doesn’t have to worry about sleeping in one that she pooped in.

When you come to my house, please watch out for Beau. He is on full alert of any strangers coming in and will bark like crazy if you wake him up. So please be as quiet as possible. Please be careful if it snows, snow storms are hard to fly in, and can cause you to crash. Safe travels, and tell Mrs. Claus hi for me!

Sincerely, Norah Lower

Dear Santa, Well, hello there Santa! I’m Danika! I think I’ve been pretty good this year. I know this is a lot, so if you can’t get all of this you could get it for me next year. I have done many good things like unloading the dishwasher, offering to help mom do things (and dad), I even helped mom take in the groceries. I have some questions.

Sincerely, Kadee Johnson

Dear Santa, Hi Santa, how are you doing? I am doing great. I have a few questions. How many carrots have you fed Rudolph? How many elves do you have?

I want a hoverboard, a huge lego set, and lots of snow.

I also want lots of Nerf guns and an electric scooter. The things I have done good is help my dad at the farm. I help my mom with the dishes.
