Letters to Obama

Last Sunday, our children wrote letters to President Obama under the leadership of KC Greaney. I asked KC to make copies of their letters before she sent them to Washington D.C., so that the congregation could hear what our kids have to say. I’ll print some this week, and some next week.

Dear President Obama,
Please bring George Bush to your house, so he doesn’t start us in another war. Sincerely, Ava (age 4)

Dear President Obama,
Please help stop the war. Powell (age 6)

Dear President Obama,
Congratulations on your recent inauguration. I strongly feel that our schools need more funding and support from our government. There is much more to education than reading and writing. There is also music, languages, drama and libraries that need funding. These enrichment classes are very important in education, and they are sorely underfunded. Please help the new generation of Americans get the education they need.
Thank you, Rosemary Dodd (age 12}

Dear President Obama,
I hope you stay in office for eight years instead of four.
Sincerely, Raj (age 5)

Dear President Obama,
I am so glad you are my President. I wanted to vote for you but I am only six. But I know you are going to take care of America! Love, Isabel (age 6)
