Dear Sir,

We believe that our school should consider having a healthy food canteen. Firstly, we believe that we should have healthy food because it is good for us. Secondly, we think that we should have this because it prevents us from getting colds and the flu. Thirdly, we hear that some children don’t eat breakfast, so it is important that they have a healthy lunch. Also, healthy foods provide us with energy and help us to learn. Finally, we know healthy foods have vitamins and minerals that help children grow strong.

Yours faithfully,

Amy Tran and Marcel Obeid
