At Christmastime Westlock-area students submit Letters to Santa, which we publish in the paper and online. Here's a sampling of what we received.
Westlock Elementary School - Grade 2K
Dear Santa,
I know that it’s time to decorate for Christmas. I really wanted to name my cat Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Can you tell me about your reindeer? This year I hope that all dogs find a home. This year I was good because I helped win a tournament. May I please have a black panther watch please?
Love, Logan
Dear Santa,
