Dear Santa,

Hi, how are you doing? Are all of the reindeer getting along? We are all doing our best job here in the Grover Room at Lifesteps. You must be very busy getting ready for Christmas. It is very close and we are trying even harder to be nice to each other and share with our friends. Pleases read our list carefully because we worked really hard on it.

Please remember as you and your elves work hard to fill our list that we really are doing the best we can do. We are paying attention in class and we are learning so much about the world around us. Tell the reindeer that we say "Hi," and that we will be waiting and listening for you to come on Christmas Eve.

Thank you for your time and for your patience with us as we learn and grow.
