Children’s art also needed for special section
The Southside Sentinel will again publish “Letters to Santa” from local children in its special “Christmas Greetings” section in the Thursday, Dec. 18, issue.
Parents and school teachers are urged to encourage their children and students to write a letter to Santa and submit it on time. The Sentinel looks forward to sharing all the wishes with Santa this year.
Letters should be emailed or delivered to the Sentinel office’s foyer dropbox no later than 5 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 4, in order to appear in the special section.
Letters should include the child’s first and last name, age, and community of residence. Parents and teachers are asked to make certain the letters are legible. The letters should be short and concise, so Santa can read them quickly.
Include a phone number in case Santa has questions. The phone number won’t be published.
Email “Letters to Santa” to Editor@SSentinel.com; mail to Southside Sentinel, P.O. Box 549, Urbanna, VA 23175; or bring by the Sentinel office at 276 Virginia St. in Urbanna.
Artwork welcome too
We are also inviting children to submit their Christmas-themed artwork to run with the letters. The child’s first and last name, age, and community of residence should appear on the back of each drawing submitted.
Include a phone number in case Santa has questions. The phone number won’t be published.
Deadlines and submission methods are the same as listed above for the letters.
