Welcome to the Letters to Santa Project! This was the very first
project conducted in 1985 on our pioneering FrEdMail Network (using Apple IIe and 300 baud modems).
It continues to be an annual Global Schoolhouse favorite.
Around the world, Santa Claus plays an important role in a multitude of
cultures. In the United States, he has become a true American folk icon.
When you register for this project, we match you up with a partner classroom
with which your students exchange their "Santa Letters:" Younger students write
letters "to" Santa; Older students impersonate Santa and send their carefully
crafted replies.
Our guidelines and materials have been used successfully
with thousands of happy classes who find this to be a motivating and
rewarding experience.
