Question

Dear Principal Cantara,

We [the students of IS237], would like to have our summer vacation extended so that we can study in prep school [specifically Nationwide Master Academy]. In prep school we learn [English] language arts and math to improve our skills and get into specialized high school. Our goal is to get into one of the three best high schools in New York; Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and Brooklyn Tech. To reach this goal we can start by writing a letter to the mayor and form a petition. Our school can have a letter writing contest to chose an appropriate, formal and persuasive letter to the mayor. Those who agree with extending summer vacation time by adding another 3 weeks can sign the petition and then we will send it to Mayor Bloomberg. Thank you, Principal Cantara, for taking the time to read this letter. We would really appreciate your opinion on the extension of summer vacation and hope that you will join us in our petition [if you allow it].
