Dear Dr.King This letter is to tell you whether extracurricular activities should be funded or not. Personally, I think afterschool actvities like cheerleading, football, ROTC, Baseball, Tennis, soccer, basketball, and step team should be going still. Here are some reasons on why I think afterschool activities should be going on right now.I hope you guys will like these reasons why these activities should be funded or " keep them".

The reason why I think extracurricular activities should be funded is so that we could stay afterschool so we could improve our grades or try to get some service hours. We could get some community service hours because of the extracurricular activities. We could stay afterschool for the activities, so we could do extra things to improve our grades so that we could pass. Some of the extracurricular activities require some help and would give you some community service hours.

Another reason why we should still have extracurricular activities is so that we could stay out of trouble. Sometimes, students stay afterschool for unneccessary things that could give them a saturday school or 60 days at the Alternate Learning Center. Like if your parents don't come back home for like another hour or so, then you'll need adult supervision until they get back. So that's a reason why we have extracurricular activities.

Another reason why we have extracurricular activities is so that we could meet new people who have things in common with you. When it was your first year at high school, some of you probably didn't know some of the juniors nor the seniors. So that's why we have afterschool activities, so we could meet new people and get to know them better.

Do you like year round schools? Well if you don't, then you and me have something in common.Well this letter is to tell you that a school board is considering making school longer. Well, I have some reasons why they shouldn't make school longer.

Year round schools last for up to 10 months and 2 months of break. We need more time off from the year round schools. Students don't like the year-round schools due to the shortage of breaks. If students don't get breaks, then that'll be a castastrophe to the school system. If there's no breaks from school, then that school will be falling apart.

Because of the short breaks, students might drop out of school for that. Also, some students drop out of year round schools because of the long months of school. Some kids don't like year round schools due to too much work, and to little breaks. The more work they give the students, the less students coming to school.

Just because of the year round schools, technically speaking, some students don't learn more because of year round schools. If students don't learn more in year round schools, then what's the point of them anyway?

Dear Armant Dealer

Last week when I was in Longview visiting relatives, I noticed that you had Giuseppe Armani figurines displayed in your window. You had already closed for the day, so I was not able to see if you had other figurines.

I am interested in three sculptures that Armani had created to celebrate the new millennium. They are called Stardust, Silver Moon, and Comet. I want to buy all three sculptures. Do you have them in stock, or could you order them? If not, could you refer me to a nearby dealer?

I am looking forward to adding these exquisite pieces of art to my collection.

Sincerely

Cynthia A. Maustin

Dear Ms. Banks

At our meeting this summer, we decided to dedicate one unit of instruction to John F. Kennedy. As you will recall, I was assigned the responsibility for proposing a curriculum for this particular unit of instruction.

The possibilities of what to include in this unit were unlimited. It was very difficult squeezing everything into a one-week unit (see enclosure). However, I enjoyed the challenge of trying to do so. JFK is one of my favorite Presidents; many of my childhood memories are centered around the few short years that he was President.

What do you think of taking our classes on a tour of his birthplace? The home he was born in at 83 Beals Street is now a National Historic Site. Wouldn't this be a great way to conclude our unit and impress upon our students that the 35th President of the United States lived in a modest home only a few blocks away from our school?

If this is of interest to you, I will start making arrangements for both of our classes. I'm already getting excited about returning to school in the fall.

Sincerely

Blake Finley

Enclosure

Here are two different kinds of sports that have something in common and something different. I have chosen kickball and baseball. What do they have in common you may ask? Well, I'll just have to tell you how.

Kickball is a sport that involves kicking; kind of like soccer but different. Like baseball, there are some changes to the rules though. The balls for kickball are different sizes and colors. You' ll have to roll the ball on the ground.

Baseball is a sport that involves a bat and a mitt. The rules are simple; just hit the ball with the bat and run to the bases. If you hit the ball out the park or in the crowd, then that's a home run. The balls are small and require a mitt to catch it.

Here's are some ways that baseball and kickball are alike. They have 4 bases in the shape of a diamond. If the ball goes out of the park or in this case off the field, then that's a homerun. Both sports needs balls in order to play.

Well, it just goes to show you that just because they are different from each other doesn't mean that they don't have something in common.
