Sophomore Board of Directors
Andover High School
80 Shawsheen Rd.
Andover, MA 01810

Dear Mr. Williams,

Your passion to place special needs children in loving homes is such an important cause. This year's Sophomore Board of Directors at Andover High School realized that and voted to continue our "Letter to Santa" fundraiser for Wednesday's child, collecting $425.00, which is enclosed.

This is Andover High's 2nd year of supporting this effort and each year's Sophomore Class has double the fun in doing it," we ask for a donation from students, faculty, administrators and staff in writing a hand-written Santa letter to a child whom they know. We've heard that some of the children receiving these letters are excited enough to bring them to school for show-and-tell; others have framed their colorful letters, and the Sophomore's who hand-write and decorate the letters from "Santa, c/o Elves Workshop, North Pole", have even said they've found another level of Christmas spirit.

So please accept out enclosed gift as a thank you for giving children another chance to be loved.

Sincerely,

Santa Letter Chairpersons
Kerry Gaj, Annie Gilmore and Alyssa Sloan
AHS Sophomore Board of Directors
