[Editor's note: The following bit of verse was originally published in a small-town newspaper called the Troy Sen- tinal, in Troy, N.Y., on December 23, 1823. At the time, the author was anonymous. His name, in fact, was Clement Clarke Moore, and his poem is often considered the most famous poem in history, at least by an American. Moore's poem is responsible, more than anything else, for our mod- ern concept of Santa Claus and children receiving gifts at Christmas.

The levy request will be put in front of voters in February. The board unanimously agreed to ask for $532,000 in 2015 and $548,000 in 2016.
