Dear Mr. McKnight,
I want to thank you for the trip to the Ocean Institute. These are special kids, who don't often see all the good things life has to offer. We had a great day on the water. I could tell many of them had not been on a boat before by the way the first rock of the boat took their breath away. Some of my students wanted to move to Dana Point. I told them to stay in school.
My warmest regards,
Ms. Vicki Lujan,
5th grade teacher

Dear Toshiba,
Thank you very much for taking us on this wonderful trip. My day was so wonderful because of you. If I was old enough I would join your company with you. My class mates and I really appreciate everything you've done for us. The most exciting part was getting on the boat because I had never gotten on a boat and now thanks to you my dream just became true. When I grow up I want to be a scientist.
Sincerely,
Ernesto,
3rd grade student |
