Assignment 1: For our ELA section, we are going to write a letter to the Mayor of Rome. The problem is the trash on the street is overwhelming! Our assignment is to write a letter to the Mayor telling him how you feel about the trash in our town, and how we can help. Please review proper letter formatting for this! Post your letter underneath like the example.

Ms. Karsten's Letter:

Dear Mayor Brown,

I think the trash is bad! I think we can help by evreybody working together and picking up the trash.

My class and I have been trying to reach you to let you know a serious problem in the City of Rome. The trash is getting out of control in the parks! We cannot even go there after school to play because there is too much trash and garbage. You can understand how sad this makes us because my students and I love to blow off some energy at the parks after school. Please try to fix this problem for my students, they love our city parks and it is only fair to them to keep them safe and clean. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Ms. Karsten
