Letters to Santa

It’s time again for children to begin writing Christmas letters for Santa with all of their holiday wishes. Winterville Parks & Recreation will have drop boxes this year for everyone’s letters to Santa. Drop boxes will be located at Winterville Town Hall and the Winterville Operations Center. Have your child drop off their letters by November 16, 2023. This date will ensure that Santa has enough time to read and reply to each child’s letter before Christmas. Please make sure that the letter and child’s name is legible, if not please write the child’s name and at least one item that they would like for Christmas so that Santa can properly address the desired item(s). On the letter envelope and/or letter please write the child’s name and return address so that Santa’s elves can send a return letter to the child.


Yoga

In this session classes will be beginner friendly and accessible to everyone. You will work on connecting breath with movement allowing you to create more awareness of the body and mind. Classes will work through sequences helping improve balance, range of motion, flexibility, and overall physical and mental well-being. Variations of postures will be available to allow the student to make the practice their own. This class is great for people with no prior experience and those who already have a yoga practice. Participants are required to bring their own personal yoga mat to each class.
