Rock Port first grade students made a trip downtown last week to mail their letters to Santa Claus. Nora Spiegel, above, carefully places her letter in Santa’s Mailbox.

Letters to Santa can be emailed to dearsanta@rpt.coop or dropped off at the North Pole mailbox at the Atchison County Mail. Letters will be printed (as submitted) in the Atchison County Mail. (Letters that arrived after the newspaper deadline will be printed next week.)
