Belle is trying to persuade her school administration to
retain extracurricular art programs. This is a draft of her
letter to the school administration board.
(1) There are many things a kid takes away from
school besides education. (2) I am talking about the
memories I have created with my friends, the friendships
I have made, and the adventures I have done outside of
class. (3) Creating the Free Art Club was the highlight of
my sixth grade career. (4) I remember being inspired to
start an organization where students were free to create
music, art, paintings, and anything to express
themselves. (5) For the first time in my life, I was a
leader.
(6) Do you remember the mural my friends from the
Free Art Club created in the community center? (7) We
received so much attention from the press. (8) The city's
mayor even gave our school an extra grant for art
programs, including the Free Art Club that created the
mural.
(9) When the schools decided to cut the art program,
many students including me-were disappointed. (10)
To make the matters worse, the school has asked all
seniors to stop any participation in extracurricular
activities and to only focus on academics. (11) The
school administration has failed to consider the fact that
students focus better on studies when they are
refreshed.
