Holiday Braille: Letters from Santa
This year, Hadley is excited to again offer its “Letters from Santa”
program. Hadley students are encouraged to send in holiday messages to Santa
in print or braille and Hadley’s “Santa” will send them a personal response.
This program is a fun way Hadley celebrates the holidays and promotes the
use of braille for children. 

If you are a Hadley student with a visually impaired braille-reading or
braille-learning child in your life, we invite you to send in your letter
request no later than December 11. A response will be returned in braille,
along with a print copy. There is no charge for this service.

Email to santa at hadley.edu
<mailto:santa at hadley.edu?subject=Holiday%20Braille>  is the preferred medium
for your letter to Santa request, but the email must provide a valid street
address to send the braille response, or it will not be processed.

Requests can also be mailed to:
The Hadley School for the Blind
700 Elm Street
Winnetka, IL 60093
Attention: Santa
Please allow two weeks for delivery of your braille response if you submit
by mail.

If there is something special you would like Santa to mention, please let us
know and we will do our best to accommodate you.  Please understand that we
will not be able to respond to letters received after December 11, 2009.  

Questions? Please call 800-323-4238.
