Peakview School – 3rd Grade – Mrs. Wilkins Class

Dear Santa,

How are the reindeer? Are the elves working hard? This is the main question I want answered: Where in the world do you get the supplies you need to make toys? Oh, and how rich are you? You must be pretty rich to give away ALL those toys. Oh, I know you live at the North Pole. Since taxes are low there, so you must have more money than the government of the United States! Now enough chitchat…let’s get down to business. This year I only want five things. The first wish is really four things. I want the four biggest Nerf guns. The last wish is for peace and joy for the world.

Sincerely, Evan Ksander

Dear Santa,

How are you and Mrs. Claus? How is Rudolph? How is the North pole? I am eight years old. My mom is 30 and my dad is 33 years old. I am doing well in school. Make sure you check your list. I want five things. One thing is a Call of Duty 3 game. It is for Playstation. Can I have an Ironclad toy and a Playstation 3 and some games for it? Santa, can you get something for my parents? I will tell you what they want. My mom wants my stuffed animal. Can you get her another one? Can you get my dad some Bronco jerseys? Can you get my mom some Raider jerseys?

Hi, how are you doing? My name is Veana and my favorite color is blue. What is your favorite color? I live in Walsenburg, Colorado with my Grandma on 7th Street. Do you know where I live?

I would like to ask Mrs. Claus how to cook peanut butter cookies, do I can leave you a plate of peanut butter cookies. I would like a Mickey Mourse or Minnie Mouse. I would also like a blue blike. I have been doing well in my Peakview School. I broke my arm, but I am trying to get my work all finished. Even with my broken arm, I still vacuum and help out at home. I sweep and clean too. Can you help me out and get my mom a special piece of jewelry?

Sincerely, Veanadoshnea Siam Ortega-Ault
