Letters From Santa

Help make your child’s Holiday Season extra special this year with a personal letter from Santa Claus! The Portage Park & Recreation Department has made arrangements with the North Pole to write a letter to any child who requests one. Please complete this form by December 9th to give our staff enough time for delivery by Christmas.


You can print the form here, or if you'd like to register online, please follow this link
