Subject:application for a student-led newsletter
Dear Ms White,
I would like to sincerely apply for a student-led newsletter for the school. Without one, our school will fail significantly, and our students will not know about fundraisers. As we have spoken on Monday, I have conducted a vote, and the whole school unanimously voted for there to be a student-led newsletter.
I have researched the benefits of a student-led newsletter, and a few of the many include: enhanced communication, improved engagement, enhanced school spirit, and more contribution towards the school. It also promotes student leadership, and builds a platform for the voice of the students. There is a current push for a student-led newsletter, as the students in my class have not been remembering key events, which is a very important issue that must be solved now. To solve it, the most efficient and effective method is to let the students write the newsletter themselves, so they have an idea of everything that is happening. Well, Ms White, you may be thinking that it would delay or take up some of their learning time in class, or extra-curriculars. Well, no, you’re wrong. I have been reading some books, and in the books, there is a club, called the “Newsletter Editing Club”, or something along the lines of that. They can volunteer with their friends, and for the students who don’t I will make sure every representative of the class in the “Editing Team” will be able to tell them.
If it is possible for you, we can meet in the PAS(performing arts studio) on Tuesday, second half of lunch after my SRC meeting. If you are unavailable, I will follow it up on Monday. Thank you for your consideration, and cooperation.
Yours Sincerely,
Audrey Gu(Student at ENPS)
Subject: An application for a monthly student-led newsletter.
Dear Mr Corr,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to propose a new initiative: a monthly student-led newsletter that showcases student voice, creativity, and the achievements happening throughout our school community.
Let me tell you why my idea is effective.
Firstly, the newsletter would be an excellent opportunity for students to develop real-world skills in writing, editing, leadership, and teamwork. Most kids don’t get the opportunity to build up these skills until much later in life. However, being involved in this newsletter gives us the chance to be more skilful and pursue a better career path.
Secondly, if we have a student led newsletter, we can see the student’s creativity and imagination. The expression of ideas not only improve students’ confidence and intelligence but also encourage other kids outside our school. This will help to attract more students to enrol in our school which on the other hand will earn more profit.
Additionally, if we have a student led newsletter, we could feature the student’s achievements no matter how big or small. This ensures everyone is valued and appreciated.
I understand this initiative requires a lot of time and work. However, with proper guidance to manage content creation and publishing and with help of volunteer students, we can make it a success.
Would you be available next Tuesday at 4:30 pm to discuss this proposal in more detail? I have prepared a brief presentation with visual plans and implementation timeline for your consideration. I look forward to doing this opportunity together.
Kind regards,

Day 7 Homework Writing:
Dear Mr Chris,
Mr Chris, I have been thinking lately about what has been going on in school, but it feels a bit chaotic! All of the school galas and daily notices are going all over the place. We need a place to put all of these events in one place. A place that all students have access to, and we can give it to each child every week. It should be a school Newsletter, it is like the News, but all students get it.
School Newsletters are vital to our school, unlike notice boards that take up all the space on the wall. Newsletters can easily fit in our school bags and won’t hog all the space in the bag. While Notice boards kill your nose, Newsletters have a lovely aroma that explodes in your nose with all the old paper sinking into your body.
The old paper seethes through your body and scratches you. The soft coldness of the paper slaps onto your body as you hold it in your hands. It also lets kids want to touch the paper even more, as they can read the newspaper!
School Newsletters allow children to know what is happening in school. While they get on track about everything that is happening. Newsletters grab children’s attention, and may convince them to read actual newspapers that their grandparents use.
Ultimately, we should have school newsletters, because they keep children on track about what is happening in the school and can encourage them to read actual newspapers.
Kind Regards
Xander
