Included is a letter that’s checked and signed by Santa himself, with a promise he and his elves will try their best to deliver to the kids what they asked for. The personalized responses the kids received include cards from the ”Elf Executive Office,” certifying that the recipient is on the “nice list.” It comes with an encouraging word to keep up the good work. It’s the most excitement they have all year.” They just started yelling out, ‘It’s from Santa! Look at this!’ and sharing with each other. “It was better than seeing Santa - seeing these letters personalized to them. “The kids were so excited,” Dombroski told TribLive. Lebert was kind enough to walk the responses over to the school for the big man. Not long after the letters were left at Lebert’s mailbox, responses to the letters started arriving at the school - from “Santa.” What happened next could be described as magical. But Dombroski’s class went ahead and left the letters there. Those letters had come from Mick Dombroski’s first-grade class.Īfter the teacher saw the mailbox, he had his students write letters to Santa and walked them over to drop them in the mailbox … only to realize it was just a decoration. Thinking someone had dropped garbage in the box, he looked more closely and saw the papers were letters to Santa from 19 students at Berkey. Lebert told TribLive he noticed one day what looked like papers under the mailbox. He wound up getting a “Letters to Santa” mailbox and put it in front of the house, next to the sidewalk. Instead, Lebert wanted to find another way to decorate. Berkey Elementary School in Arnold, Pennsylvania, loved it, he said, but after the home got new shingles, he decided to stop putting up the tree. The children who attended school across the street at H.D. Joe Lebert, for some time, would decorate his mom’s porch with a Christmas tree and decorations. A man who loves to decorate for the holidays has taken the Christmas spirit to a whole new level by answering Santa letters.
