Mrs. Jean Ciendaniel, Teacher
We are so happy that this is our
turn to write news letter. We
would like to send our letter to
Santa Claus. and we would also
like to tell you about our Good
Deed for this week Perhaps many
of you have read about the little
boy who wanted a left hand for
Christmas Debbie Jones brought
the article in for us to read, and
we talked it over and decided we
could help Little Mike He is six
years old and in the first grade
in Alexandria, Virginia. Mike was
born without left hand and he
feels real need for one now that
he is in school. We traced our
hands and taped pennies on them
to send to Mike. Our friends saw
what we were doing and many of
them asked to have their hands
and pennies included in the col
lection. We are too little to walk
down town and visit the post Of
flee during this cold weather. so
the post office came to see us so
that we could mail our gift to
Mike 1t really did. Mr.. Irwin
Bowman, a Boy Scout leader. and
good friend to all children, came.
out last Friday with scales and
stamps to weigh our package and
mail it for us. We wrote letters
to Mike in penmanship class and
told him we were sending our
hands to help him and that we
hoped Santa would bring him
hand. We counted our pennies in
number class to see just how
many dollars we had. Each day
we counted the amount grew and
grew That made us all happy.
We were able to send Mike $1,000.
We will be anxious to hear whether
Mike has his hand on Christmas
Day.
Dear Santa Claus:
We have been good little first
graders. We try to do our best
work in school, and we try and
help our parents at home. Please
