Dear Parent,

               We are about to embark on an exciting part of your childÕs education in science.  In our environmental science class, we will be studying coral reef conservation. The fate of the worldÕs coral reefs lies in the hands of todayÕs high school students.  Our goal is for teens to recognize the value of coral reefs and henceforth strive to preserve and protect them.  Through our proposed six-week lesson, we hope to give students as much exposure to coral reefs and preservation methods as possible.  Planned activities include: a trip to the Forth Worth Aquarium to see a live coral reef display, holding a debate among the students about the proÕs and conÕs of different coral reef conservation methods, writing letters to state representatives to support coral reef conservation projects, and hosting a fund-raiser to support the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Reserve. 

On the day of the field trip, you child will need to bring a sack lunch and money for dinner.  Your child will have an excused absence for his/her other classes.  Please encourage your child to finish all homework and turn it in early as well as get the assignments they will be missing.  Also, please make sure your child gets a good nights rest, as we will be leaving early in the morning on the day of the field trip.  We will be leaving at 7am and will be back by 8pm. 

Please sign below so that I know that you have seen this letter and the following attachment pages. Please give particular attention to the discussion of project partners and to the project due date sheet.   Please feel free to contact me at 555-5555 or email me at Heldf@yahoo.com.  Thank you for your time and interest.

 

 

 

Sincerely,
