Dear Santa,
I want a BIG pile of peanuts for Christmas. Can you
bring me some toy markers,
a real phone because I lost
my other one, and a bunch
of puzzles? I also want more
doctor stuff to play with. I
have tried to be good, but I
had a few accidents. I will
leave you cookies and milk
and carrots for your reindeer.
Love,
Gracie W.
Dear Santa,
I love you. I want a bulldozer to scoop the snow
with. My birthday is on January 10th. I will be 5! Could
you bring me a toy gun that
makes sounds? I will try to
be good. Thank you Santa!
Love,
Bentlee G.
Dear Santa,
My Daddy sent you a text.
Did you get it? I want a new
Elsa Castle and a new Barbie House. I have tried to
be good. Thank you for the
presents.
Love,
Avery F.
Dear Santa,
Hi. I want a cotton candy
machine. I have been good
at home. I also want a pink
baby doll that eats food.
Could I have some legos
that are pink? I also want
a Mickey Mouse phone and
a Mickey Mouse suitcase. I
will give you a present and
cookies with milk. I love you!
I will give you a hug.

Love,
Brynna A.

Dear Santa,
I am going to give your
reindeer some food. Could
you bring me a cotton candy
machine that glows in the
dark? I saw it on tv. I also
want a baby doll that talks
and eats baby food. Thank
you for giving me toys. I love
you.
Love,
Gabby H.
Dear Santa,
How are you? I want to
feed your reindeer. I have
been very good. Could you
bring me a Barbie horse, a
set of markers to draw with,
and some new clothes? I
dont need any make-up because I have a bunch. Thank
you for coming to my house.
Youre a GOOD Santa! I love
you.
Love,
Keely B.
Dear Santa,
I moved to a new house
and I am sometimes at my
moms and sometimes at
my dads. I have been good,
but my brother was naughty because he bit me, so no
presents for him! Could you
bring me a baby doll that
talks and walks and a baby
stroller with a blanket and
pillow? I also want a new
Barbie basket and a purple
ring. Can I have an Elsa
dress with no snowflakes
on it and Elsa heels and an
Elsa wand? Make sure the
Elsa dress has a long cape
that drags. I also want an
Elsa tower and a tiara. I
love you Santa!
Love,
Emma N.
Dear Santa,
I have been a good girl,

The Littlest Christmas Tree

On Wednesday, December
2, 2015, Kids Korner Preschool held its Christmas
program. This year the children performed a musical titled The Littlest Christmas
Tree. The musical was about
a group of tress in the forest
who have always wanted to
be someones special Christmas tree. All the trees were
chosen except for the littlest
one. She was sad until some
forest friends came to decorate her with pretty feathers
and berries. To top the tree,
a little star who was feeling
left out came to shine a top
of the tree. She became the
most beautiful tree ever!
The cast members were:

Well Done!

I am extremely proud of our students, teachers, parents and fellow administrators

for their efforts and results of our ACT and APR scores. It is truly about relationships
in this profession. Our staff works hard to build those relationships with our students
and with each other. They continue to set high expectations in the classroom to hold
our students accountable. Based on our results in the classroom and from the state,
our students are succeeding.
