The following Carpenter Hill 3rd graders were asked to write a letter to Santa to convince him to hire them as a North Pole elf. Here are their responses.
Dear Santa, I have always wanted to be an eld, so when I heard you were hiring I thought I would trie to you. The first reason is I am really good at helping to make presents and toys for little boy and girls. Reason number two is I am good at observing who is naughty and nice. My finall reason is I will help you and the elves decorate the North pole on christmas and I will send the elves on the shelves back to the children. Those are the reasons why I would love to be an elf at your workshop. Love, Hathe
