Participating students should write letters to Santa and mail to the Virtual School. This venture will encourage the students to develop writing skills while celebrating the joy of childhood at Christmas.
The students will each write a letter to Santa asking questions and making requests. During the videoconference, Santa will read some of the letters from schools in the videoconference and answer the students' questions. YOUR students' faces will light up, especially when Santa calls their names.
MAIL the students’ letters to:
SANTA at Vanderbilt Virtual School
Attention: Mrs. Patsy Partin
Vanderbilt Virtual School
2007 Terrace Place
Nashville, TN 37203
"How are the elves?" "How does Santa get down the chimneys?" and "How do reindeer fly?" are among frequent questions often posed by excited students.
PLEASE register quickly (these sessions fill up fast). Then encourage your students to write their letters. Mail the letters early to Vanderbilt Virtual School to make sure they arrive in plenty of time before the videoconference sessions.
