| Dear Contact, |
|
I am a parent of a student at King
school. I have recently become aware of some very innovative
educational programs that have been happening in my child's class
and I felt that our entire parent organization should be made aware
of them. I am excited about how Mr. Robert Smith is teaching
science using our school district's environmental education
curriculum.
I think that environmental education
is great for our kids. My son has been participating in an
community research project that Mr. Smith's class has undertaken.
The class was asked to identify an environmental problem in our
community. Each student came up with what they believed to be
a problem for our community. Among all the suggestions, they
decided as a class which environmental problem they would work on.
The class chose to determine how citizens can reduce the amount of
hazardous waste that regular households send to the landfill.
They are working on creating a community reuse program for these
chemicals. They have identified a place where the chemicals
can be stored and displayed. When community members need them,
they can come over and pick them up for reuse.
The approach Mr. Smith has taken to
education is really helping my son. He is beginning to realize
that he is part of our community and that he can make a difference.
Most importantly, Jake looks forward to going to Mr. Smith's class.
He is enjoying his education and is applying his newfound excitement
to other classes. It is not merely knowing how to resolve
environmental issues; Jake has learned some important skills that he
will use to solve problems throughout his life.
I wrote this letter for two reasons.
First, I am sure that the students in Mr. Smith's class could use
our financial support. They are collecting donations, having
bake sales, and speaking to community leaders, all in an attempt to
raise enough funds to start their project. Second, I believe
that more of this sort of education should be happening in our
schools. Our organization needs to approach our school board
and see what they are doing to further environmental education in
our district. The school board should be encouraging teachers
to use EE and making sure that we have the best environmental
education possible.
Sincerely,
