Dear Future President: Eagle Bluff students have advice for new leader


.
Students in Kim Gavin’s third-grade class at Eagle Bluff Elementary School in Onalaska have a few tips for the country’s next commander in chief.

They used their letter-writing skills to offer some friendly advice:
Dear Future President,

I think a great president should allow kids to vote and lower taxes.

From

Adam Mensendiek

Dear Future President,

A good president is responsible, kind, should listen to his or her people and you must have very good leadership.

Many people in Iraq are dying. I think we should stop the war.

Good luck with the elections on Nov. 4.

Sincerely,

Katherine Chafoulias

Dear Future President,

To be a very good president is to listen to the people and to help the people without homes and sick people to give them medicine and to help the war and make it fair to everybody and to share, too.

I have a president in mind, but I’m not telling.

I hope whoever is the president is not mean. I hope he’s nice.

Sincerely,

Makayla Myhre

Dear Future President,

I am thinking that you should try to lower gas prices and food prices. It gets a little bit annoying sometimes to see a box of cereal that could sometimes be $6.

I think you should stop the war in Iraq. Many people are dying.

And that’s all I really want.

Sincerely,

Andrew Runde

Dear Future President,

I think you should lower gas prices a bit because many people fight because there is so much money.

Do you think you can try to listen to more people about big problems?

Could you have smoking be illegal because I sometimes get sick of smoke flying around.

Could you make a donut free a day?

Hope you are gonna like being president.

Take care,

Zach Devine

Dear Future President,

These are some things I think the president should be and do:

He should do good things for the economy. And he should be kind, and also the gas prices are way too expensive so he should lower them. And finally he should be a good leader for our country. (And you should make a donut day, my opinion.)

That’s what I think a president should be and do.

Sincerely,

Carter Melby

Dear Future President,

What I want the future president to be like is to help the world be a better place.

I want the war to stop. I think the president should be nice and kind.

Sincerely,

Katie Larkin

Dear Future President,

What are you going to do with taxes?

I’m just wondering do you have a movie theater in your house?

What are you going to do about the economy?

What are you going to do about Iraq?

Are you going to lower gas prices?

What are you going to do about people that make $100,000 a year?

Sincerely,

Dylan Schott

Dear Future President,

I think that the president should be very responsible and kind. The president should always listen to his side of the war and never listen to the other side.

I hope you enjoy the White House and America.

Sincerely,

Anna Reid

Dear Future President,

Here are some things that our president should do something about — the war in Iraq, gas prices, taxes, people from foreign countries.

I hope you are a great president.

Sincerely,

Preston Lyon

Dear Future President,

A good president might do these things: Visiting other classes to tell us kids what it is like to be a president. Maybe build bigger schools for everyone. Be very responsible. Be honest. Be kind and fair. Be respectful to people. Send food and clothes and help the war. And last help America be a safe, great country.

That’s what a good president does. I hope you liked my letter. I do.

Sincerely,

Madison Childress

Dear Future President,

I think a president should lower food prices.

I think you should be healthy.

Good luck being president.

From,

Sadie Turner

Dear Future President,

It is a big responsibility to run the country.

I hope you lower gas prices but have fun being the president of the United States.

Sincerely,

Nicholas Bentz

Dear Future President,

I think a president should be kind, have responsibility and be a great leader.

I do not really know who I want for president yet.

I can’t wait to see who wins.

From,

Taylor Eide

Dear Future President,

I have a president in mind but I’m not completely sure.

I hope who becomes president is not mean and does not raise taxes plus gas prices, and should be very responsible and no wars, especially Iraq. I hope the economy will not get out of hand.

I hope you like my letter.

Sincerely,

Lana Rodionova

Dear Future President,

I think you should do some of these things to be a good president.

You should lower the gas prices and make people get twice as much money for what they work for.

I hope you’re a good president.

From,

Ryan Miller

Dear Future President,

A president should be a good leader and responsible. A president should be kind and a good listener.

The gas should be lower, like $1 per gallon.

He should be fair and share.

Sincerely,

Garrett Wise
