1520 Sixth Avenue New York, NY 10980 May 1, 2004 Principal Valerie Sanchez Redwood Elementary School New York, NY 10980 Dear Ms. Sanchez: I am a fifth-grade student. I think that students in our school should be allowed to wear uniforms. We need to spend less time and money worrying about our school clothes and spend more time and energy on our studies. If students were allowed to wear uniforms, parents would spend less money on clothes. Parents could then spend money on more important things that kids need like food, books and medical care. If students wore uniforms, it would make it easier for them to get to school on time. I spend a lot of time in the morning deciding what clothes to wear. But if I wore a uniform, then I wouldnt waste my time thinking about clothes. I could focus more on getting to school. Students wouldnt worry so much about fitting in if they wore uniforms. Kids are under a lot of pressure to wear the right clothes, brands and styles. Uniforms would show kids that its more important to be judged on who they are rather than on what they wear. I really think this is an important issue. Students in our school should be allowed to decide if they want to wear uniforms or not. Thank you, Ms. Sanchez, for reading my letter. I hope you will consider my suggestion. Sincerely, Thomas James

Dear Ms. Cline: Last summer I became a vegetarian. After visiting my uncles farm in Iowa, I couldnt bear the thought of eating meat anymore. When school started, I thought I could eat school lunches by simply staying away from meat dishes. My plan worked for a few weeks, but it got tough to eat peanut-butter sandwiches and applesauce every day. The school lunch program is great for most students, but it doesnt work well for vegetarians. After talking with other vegetarian students, I believe that the lunch program can work for everyone. Some options are to have a greater variety of side dishes and a salad bar every day that even nonvegetarians could enjoy. The school lunch program would then provide something for everyone. I was happy with the school lunches before I became a vegetarian, and I hope that now you will be able to offer meals that I can enjoy just as much. Please respond to my request via school mail, or e-mail <kk@aol.com>.

Sincerely, Karin K.
