Classroom Trackers

Greetings Trackers!

I am pleased to announce that I have been in contact with five school teachers in the past week who all want to track Santa for Santa as a class. I think this is a really cool idea.

That means making some special arrangements. Technically, each class is registered as an elf under the teacher’s name. They will be working together, collectively sending in reports for their individual areas.

I’ve also agreed to take their questions and reply to them via posts here on SantaTrackers.net. The first of these will be coming out in a couple of weeks.

I’m hoping this is the best way to handle this. Each of these great teachers have agreed to work with me as we test this out.

That being said, if you know of other teachers out there that want to do this sort of thing please put them in contact with me. At least while it is early in the season we should be able to accommodate them.

Some of you are asking about when to send specific reports. Right now, I want to focus on you sending weekly the stuff I asked for earlier – weather reports, mostly.

In about a week we’re going to start looking at rooftops and chimneys. But I’m not quite yet ready for those. It’ll be good to get those out of the way before bad weather sets in and I figure we have about a month still of decent weather, at least in northern areas.

Thanks for all you’re doing!

About this Elf: Elf Pinky

Elf Pinky was recruited from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1992 and has since served as an instructor in sleigh flight theory at the North Pole Institute of Aviation. She worked very hard to earn her elf credentials, working a second shift first as a tool repair technician in Santa’s workshop and then as an engineer in the Wrapping Department designing wrapping machines. Pinky in recent years was a recruiter and trainer of sleigh test pilots and flies under the call sign Barracuda. Last year she served as a Flight Operations Director and demonstrated outstanding judgment and maturity in her duties supervising more than 400 elves, pilots, reindeer handlers and sleigh freighters.
