Subject: A Winning Idea for a More Dynamic Lunchtime: Dedicated Sport Club Zones
Dear Mr La Campo,
I am writing to enthusiastically submit my proposal for the Student Idea Contest, an initiative I believe will profoundly enhance our school’s lunchtime experience and foster a more vibrant sporting culture.
Currently, our playground, while full with joyful sporty activity, often lacks dedicated space for serious athletic development. My idea proposes school as a way to not only improve academically but also physically. I aim to do this by assigning specific areas of the playground to sport clubs for the first half of lunch. Imagine our basketball court becoming a improvement hub for the Basketball Club, discovering their true potential, or the soccer field transforming into a strategic arena for the Soccer Club. This dedicated area would allow students to truly unleash their athletic potential, practice with purpose, and create a deeper passion for their chosen sport, free from casual disruption. It promises more organised, engaging, and skill-building sessions letting students practice freely.
With this proposal I would like to set some rules to prevent chaos instead of effective practice. I propose two key rules. Firstly, 4-6 responsible 6th graders, chosen based on their passion and leadership qualities, would serve as club leaders. This approach prevents kids having arguments and fights also empowering the year sixes with life lessons. Secondly, to garantee participation and fairness, each club must maintain a minimum of ten active members. This rule prevents friend groups from overtaking each area and ensures that the dedicated space genuinely acts as a collective area to play and grow.
So that my idea can be properly efficient established, having a break schedule of: first a forty minute lunch (of which twenty minutes are for the club) and then a 20 minute recess. I am sure that with this new approach to learning we can promote a healthier school community. Pick me so we can be with sport and free.
Sincerely,

Turning the page to a greener and smarter way to teach.
Dear principal,
What if I told you that we could literally and figuratively turn the page on how teachers teach, and take a step towards a greener classroom without sacrificing creativity and connection? Why not use the incredible technology we have? Didn’t we create technology for a purpose?
Each worksheet we hand out is like a leaf plucked from a tree’s branch. On average, in elementary school ever student uses 900 to 1800 sheets of paper a year, while there are so many schools around the world. Imagine how may trees we would be cutting! While paper has long been the lifeblood of classroom routines, today’s technology offers us a fresh canvas, one that doesn’t live behind a trail of paper scraps and jammed printers.
With the power of technology we can use platforms like slides, docs, google and more.
Principal imagine this, imagine you’re a kid at school trying to get A’s but there is a major problem, there is no more room to put you’re notes from class. While if you are using technology you can store note in apps like notes.
This isn’t just about saving tree’s, it’s about streamlining teaching methods, simplifying storage, and setting students up for success in the future.
Paper still has a place. But if we begin to blend into the greener way we can change the world.
Kind regards,

Dear Headteacher Liam,
I hope this email will make you be persuaded to make school curriculums have more music lessons at school. We only have one once a week and we only have music lessons for half a year so we only get twenty lessons. That is barely anything for a whole year! I want lessons for the whole year twice a week and the people should be allowed to make music in the music room during playtime and any spare time they are given. This allows them to communicate in different ways improve their skills and learn new things.
The school children should have more music lessons because it helps them test their skills and can improve more and more but it is very hard to do that when you have a very short period of time to improve.
After you get really good, you can communicate in different ways and people will understand what your playing. Then, you won’t need to speak about your stuff as much.
Finally, you can learn new skills. Like in violin and piano, you can get faster fingers. For drums, you can have better timing and best of all, you can learn to let out all your creativity and create pieces of music.
This is why we should have more music lessons and have more chances in playing it. We learn more things, improve skills and it lets us communicate with other people in a powerful language.

Dear Headteacher,
I would like to have a gardening period in school so that students can learn about growth and the environment. Growth about the environment is important to learn about but our school doesn’t have a gardening period, hence it would be difficult to learn about nature and mother earth. If we learn about nature, then we can treat nature properly and be a role model for the next generation. Our school is not being taken care of properly and that is because we don’t know how to take care of Mother Earth/Earth, but if we learn how to take care of Mother Earth in our gardening period then it can not only help us with the environment around us but also in school. You may be thinking, how does gardening and Earth related well research has shown that when you plant you are also making the world fresher hence, when the environment is fresher than you can have oxygen to breathe from. Research shows that when you are gardening it can relax your brain and let you concentrate more, therefore gardening can also relax your brain if you are stressed out. Thus overall, You must squeeze in a gardening period.
Kind regards

start the assessment
Dear head tacher
hope you are ok.
I would like to present an idea to start mini tests.
First of all when any child is doing any type of test all they want to hear is they got most or all correct. So they would most likely study and in the process they would gradually get smarter in some way.Along by doing study and getting smarter ; the study will contribute to make you smarter and more successful in the future and a good future is important.
Apart from being smart and successful , you will bring discipline to your life.When you will study for the mini test you most likely will have a fixed routine. another thing that you will get is consistency which will make you smarter and better.It can also see where you are lagging behind.
competitive exams like selective ,oc and scholarship have one thing in common; you need to practice.well mini tests will be at a similar level as selective and oc depending on your grade.Along with your mini test the backup study or the mini test will be enough to clear competitive exams.
kind regards sukrit

Request for gardening on the student idea contest.
Dear Mrs. Brown,
I hope this email finds you well, regarding the student idea contest. I believe that we should put up a garden in our school for my idea. This would help us have fresh greens in our canteen orders and creates a new learning experience for our students.
To do this we could buy seeds from warehouses and plant them in our green patch in our school. As I said above, our canteen can collect fresh greens from our garden benefitting low prices and healthier food. We could also provide some veggies to the people in need in our community. The second thing is that the garden can turn into a whole new workplace for kids to learn how to enhance their mind. The $100 could go toward seeds, soil, and simple tools to get us started. Over time, we could even run a stall to sell extra produce, making the project self-sustaining.
More than making a garden and growing veggies, it makes students understand nature and tells them that their roots are strong. It also provides free plants and veggies to help on our canteen or to help the community we are in.
Sincerely,
Abhijeet Pol

Title: The School Garden
Dear Principal,
I’ve heard about the student idea contest. I came up with the idea of a school garden. A school garden would be great because of the great scent, to make the school more beautiful and so the environment gets better.
I believe that, for the school garden, a great scent of flowers is a must. Great smells keep children calm and relaxed by slowing down stress. Additionally, the sweet fragrance of flowers releases chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin which make you happy like a happy human having heaps of fun.
As well as the sweet fragrance of flowers, a beautiful school is also important. Visitors would love to see a beautiful garden full of lovely plants. Imagine if you were visiting a new school you haven’t gone to. What would you be expecting the school to look like? Obviously to expect it to look beautiful. That’s exactly what visitors coming to this school would expect.
Finally, it helps the environment to get better by lowering carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas-that means it absorbs a lot of heat which makes our climate hotter. But, How? Well, just like how we humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, plants do the opposite.
They have cells that suck in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen. That’s how plants help the environment.
That’s why I deserve to get that 100 dollars.

dear head teacher
I hope this message finds you in the best condition, we must have a reward for our hard work that we have put in through the term. We certainly should be provided board games on break.
first of all it is another way on entertainment and it can encourages teamwork between students.
Most students are dying over boredom and have nothing to do for entertainment and some students don’t have anyone to play with. How would you feel if your little angel was playing all alone? Well sadly nowadays this happens often and students have no one to play and sit on the side feeling excluded and unappreciated. As a result, we defiantly must have bored games for entertainment, for fun and for new friends.
Moreover, it encorges teamwork and social skills. Social skills in a nessacary skill everyone has to have and bored games expresses. they can even make friends most games take more than one player. Therefore we must have bored games on break.

Good morning my fellow peers and teachers!
I’d like to propose the idea of student stalls, where each student can set up a mini stand to sell items of their preference. Imagine delicious food readily available, or even handmade goods like origami and small toys—it would be absolutely fantastic!
This initiative would be a wonderful opportunity to connect with new people and spark creativity by trying new things. Participation would be optional, but I encourage everyone to make the most of this exciting opportunity.
Simultaneously try new things and learn an amazing new concept, but now it’s completely your choice. Do you want the children to have fun in a new and diverse way, or do you want children to play in the normal and usual way?
Even mini game stalls can be created by simply a cardboard box and some dice. Our school will finally turn into a colorful and bright place where we can all engage together. We can all have an awesome experience together. We can all feel the sense of joy as a school.
Teachers? You’re more than welcome! Have fun with us students and try something new instead of burning your eyes in the extreme heat, trying to find a kid doing the wrong thing. Participate in as many rounds as you wish.
To mention every stall that is visited will be completely free for every visitor or participant. This is not about who can sell the most things. It’s about enjoying and having a smile on your face while holding the games. Every grade will certainly be allowed to hold or play!
And if I win? I plan to spend the money on our school’s mini stalls. So parents, don’t worry about spending $50 on your child’s stall. Most of it will be covered by me.
Thank you for interpreting my idea and I hope you enjoy the games if I win. Bye, everyone!

Subject: A Small Change That Could Brighten Every Student’s Week
Dear Miss Cherry
Have you ever noticed how Fridays, the day we all wait for, sometimes pass by just like any other day—quiet, rushed, and a little too serious? On behalf of the school, I’d like to propose something simple but meaningful: a weekly “Fun Friday” activity where students can gather during lunch to play board games, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company in a relaxed, welcoming space.
Every student, no matter their age or background, faces pressures—assignments, deadlines, friendship struggles, and the constant push to do more and be more. Many carry these worries silently, with smiles that don’t always reflect how they’re feeling inside. I believe that by creating a space where students can let go of stress, even for just a short while, we can help make school feel more like a community—and not just a place to study.
Games may seem small, but they bring big things: laughter, teamwork, conversation, connection. They create moments that linger—when someone finally wins after trying for weeks, when two students who never spoke before become partners in a game, when someone who’s been feeling down leaves the lunchroom smiling. That’s the power of small joy.
With the $100 prize, we could purchase classic games like Uno, Jenga, Connect Four, and maybe even start a simple puzzle table. We could rotate student volunteers to help run it, creating a program by students, for students. It would take very little to launch, but the emotional and social impact could last far beyond the lunch hour.
I truly believe that this idea could help create a more connected, joyful, and caring school environment. Sometimes, it’s the smallest ideas that have the biggest hearts behind them. Thank you so much for reading and for considering bringing “Fun Fridays” to life.
With hope and appreciation,
Inaaya in grade 5

Subject: Afterschool Board Games for the student idea contest
Respected Ms. Mullins (school principal),
I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing in regard for the student idea contest as I have proposed an idea of adding afterschool boardgames on Friday. This does not only allow the early secondary grades to create friends but also learn competitive and teamwork building skills.
After so much homework and a tough day, we deserve this. Board games, known as the basis for competitive and teamwork production, helps us to generate pure focus on a game while we play in a team and discuss the possible ways of beating our opponent. This realm translates tests in a fun and engaging way by allowing young children to compete against children of their age and building confidence against people they think are better, know ways that they may be able to defeat them. By this miniature act, as a school we can improve significantly and be a happier place where students look up to coming.
While this is important part of why we should implement board games afterschool, this idea also carries an additional benefit of having more social connections. This includes not only making more friendships with the people you share interest with but also deepen connection with ones you already know by simply finding out more about your friends and build each other’s trust as you hang out with them more often now. This can be beneficial for us as kids because the more relations we have the more included and better we feel while we can get more support in any shape or form.
I hope we can allow board games in our school for some afterschool fun as this will promote a happier environment at school by forcing more friendships and giving a competitive environment for us children in high school. Thanks for considering this as an idea and I look up to get chosen for this year’s student idea contest.
Regards,
Nakshita Goyal from 7J
