I need to apologize for my mistake that caused 44 kids to not have their Santa Letters included in this week’s edition. In November I mistyped and provided the wrong email address to some teachers, so I did not receive all the letters. I’m very sorry for this mistake and any hardship it might cause. I will be printing the missed letters in next week’s edition.
Merry Christmas,
David Butler
