Letter to Mr. Schmitt
Good Morning!
It is tradition that each 8th grade student write a letter of thanks to our principal for his service to you and the SFS community. As with Father Ryan's letter, this letter should be one of the best letters that you have ever written, too. It should be from the heart and contain reasons why you are thankful for Mr. Schmitt. You might want to mention any positive interactions that he had with you, whether that included sporting events, school classes, discipline, and/or extracurricular activities/clubs. If you did not have any personal interaction with Mr. Schmitt, your letter can focus on how you feel he has helped SFS since he has been here, one of which was our second Blue Ribbon School designation.
Your letter should be written in 12 point font. Remember to include a date at the top, a greeting (Dear Mr. Schmitt,), the body of your letter, a salutation (Sincerely, Truly, Love, From) and your full name below the salutation. Before turning it in, make sure that you have spelled everything correctly and that your grammar and punctuation is free of any errors. This letter is due on Monday at 3:00 pm. Mrs. Salit and I will be compiling all the letters from the 8th grade class and will present them to Mr. Schmitt at the end of the semester.
