Parent Letter

Dear Parents,

The students in my class are working on a unit that explores contributions of the independent or nonprofit sector to the "Common Good" starting with the Mayflower Compact. We are at the end of the unit and are going to work on posters displaying the quotes of Benjamin Franklin from his book, Poor Richard's Almanack.

We would like you to discuss ways in which we all contribute to the "Common Good" at home as well as in the community. Remember to bring in the grandparents. They are a wealth of information. Perhaps your child could design a quote poster to be displayed at home. This would be a great project and a wonderful reminder of the great things we do together.

Thank you for all of your support. We are looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,
