At Saluda Elementary School, Mrs. Maneen’s fifth grade and Mrs. Marion’s kindergarten Book Buddies wrote letters to Santa Claus. Shown below is kindergartener Bradley Wooten with his fifth grade buddy, Hayes Morgan, writing Bradley’s letter to Santa. The fifth graders then typed the letters for their kindergarten buddies. Afterwards, the students shared a special snack of cookies and juice together to celebrate Christmas. Book Buddies meet every Thursday afternoon to read together and practice writing. Pictured below is Mrs. Marion’s kindergarten class displaying their typed letters to Santa. (photo submitted by Ronette C. Dill, principal)
