Harmony Elementary teacher Amanda Howard said her wish for her first-graders is that "each child and their family is filled with peace and joy this season."

Howard said her favorite tradition is decorating the Christmas tree and reminiscing on the memories of each ornament while listening to music.

She said her students have worked hard this year and are sure to be on Santa's nice list.

Their strategy is simple.

Centerfield Elementary teacher Clarissa Phillips said she hopes her students continue to share the gift of generosity and care for others in 2012.
This year, her students learned the meaning of generousity by giving clothes and toys to two Angel Tree children this year.
Phillips said her favorite holiday tradition is baking dozens of Christmas cookies to share with my family and friends.

Dear Santa,
Santa you are fun.
