“Texts” to Santa

by 3rd graders in Sherry Crocker’s class at Arendell Parrott Academy.

Santa –

I was hoping you get this text before you leave the North Pole.  The number one thing I want for Christmas is SLIME. It is the best thing in the world.  I also would love a squishy. You are the best. Thank you for [giving] every kid their gifts and ornaments.  -- Masarra Khoury

Santa-

I was hoping you get this text before you load your sleigh.  The number one thing I want for Christmas is an ALABAMA FOOTBALL HELMET with the number 2. I love Alabama and Jaylen Hurts. I also would love a jersey, number 2 on it.  You are the best. #SnowonChristmasDay. – Corbin Kendrick

Santa –

The number one thing I want for Christmas is a toy claw machine.  I want it so I can practice getting stuff at the store. I can win something.  I also would love a fitt bitt. You are the best!
