Seventh-graders Rachel Carr and Dylan Thomas, below, both members of the advanced language arts class at Struthers Middle School, look over letters to Santa that pupils are helping to process for the Youngstown Post Office. Above is a close-up of one the letters, which are from children in the Youngstown area.
