Attention, attention! In the middle of a bustling morning sorting through the news of the day in Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child's Marketing and Communications Office, a top-secret letter (with teeny-tiny handwriting!) magically appeared on our printer! It looks as though once again our office has intercepted a message from Bernard, the Chief Technology Elf at the North Pole, which was intended for Santa Claus!
We are so excited to share what the elf factory has brewing up at the North Pole right now – The best technology gifts of 2021. Gear up for Black Friday shopping!
Dear Santa Claus,
2021 – Students at Oak Knoll School returned to campus this fall
With a gleam in their eyes, a skip in their steps and ready to have a ball!Although there were still masks, distancing and special precautions to follow there, no task for kids at Oak Knoll School – big or small – was too tough to bear.
Words such as resilience, courage and kindness across campus were often heard and these kids did their best to stay the course with learning, giving back to people in need all while heeding God’s word.
Campus was bustling this year from the warm days of fall to the approaching winter months of cool air, on many campuses across the world this year, I’ve found this to be very rare.
Once again it’s time for us in the North Pole to get a jump on making these kids the very BEST toys! In the year 2021, among Apple Watches, iPhones and X-Boxes, we’ve found that tech-savvy gifts are the most popular among the girls and boys.So, dear Santa Claus, please see my suggested list of the very best tech gadgets to gift to the students at OKS. They continue to be, year after year – while ever-so humble –the very best of the best!
From, your most loyal, trusted tech guru,
Bernard, Chief Technology Elf,
The North Pole
Santa Claus - Please find my recommendations below for the hottest technology items for the students at Oak Knoll after conferring with the school's tech experts. I recommend that we speed up our efforts to make enough for kids world-wide, not just at Oak Knoll School!
