LETTERS TO SANTA
We know you want to make the holidays an exciting time for your kids, and we are here to help you. The Farmers Branch Aquatics Center has made arrangements with the North Pole elves to accept mail for delivery to Santa. Have your kids write a letter to Santa Claus, and they will get a letter from him in return! Please make sure to include a return address, what they want for Christmas, and something about themselves. You can drop off letters between November 15 - December 11 in the Margaret Young Natatorium.
