Every November and December, thousands of letters addressed to Santa are sent to North Pole, Alaska. Boxes full of letters are then sent to North Pole Middle School, where it is included in the 6th Grade curriculum: North Pole\\u2019s 11 and 12-year-olds are nominated as Santa\\u2019s little helpers and reply to all the letters on Santa\\u2019s behalf. But in April 2006, the peace in this snow globe of a town was shattered when six 7th Graders hatched a plan to kill their classmates. The would-be attackers had drawn up a \\u201cnaughty list\\u201d of kids at school that they wanted to murder in one violent, coordinated attack. Just the previous year they were acting as elves, writing letters to other children all over the country. A couple of months later, they were gearing up to be monsters.
