Sixth-graders get response from the president

Excitement filled the room as sixth grade students at Immaculate Conception School recently received a response to letters they had written to President Barack Obama. Pictured with the letter, a signed picture and picture of the White House dog Bo are: Seth Monk, Courtney Trent, Steven Kast, Evelyn Gillman and Michael Cejer. Not present was Trevor Monk
The writing students in Connie Snyder’s class wrote letters suggesting ways everyone could help to make the world a better place for children. Students had suggestions such as collecting change for children, making a national holiday for all children in the world, and having all schools participate in Operation Christmas Child. Making sure children had enough food, clothing and water were the main concerns of the sixth-grade students. Having adequate schools to learn in and environments that promoted peace was also an important concern.
