Dear Headmaster,
Lately our class has become worried about the environment at the back of the school,and we would like to do something to make it more attractive.We have done some research and have come up with a plan.With the help of our parents,we can do most of the work ourselves,but we will need a small amount of money for equipment,plants﹣and paint.I am writing to ask the council for permission to do this work and to ask if the school council could donate 500towards our project.
We would like to turn the empty land at the back of the school into a nature garden.We would plant trees and grasses,make paths through the garden and dig a small pond.We think this would provide a peaceful place for students and teachers to walk in.It would also attract birds,insects and small animals which students could then study in science classes.We would also like to paint the back wall of the school that faces the new garden.Some of our art classes could then paint a huge picture on it.It might be possible to paint over the wall each year so the next classes can make a new picture.
Lastly,we would like to paint all the rubbish bins.At the moment they look old and the paint is coming off.If we paint them in bright,attractive colours,students might be more likely to use them.We think our plan would greatly improve the back of the school and everyone in the school would benefit.We have already asked our parents and they have promised to donate one weekend of their time to help us complete the project.
We hope you will give us permission for this worthwhile project and will be able to donate the $500we need.When we have finished the work,we hope the council will join us in a celebration morning tea so that the whole school can thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Jim White
