Campaign encourages letter-writing to elementary students By Joyce Zabriskie Senior reporter of The Sgnpost The Associated Students of Weber State University have launched a campaign encouraging university students to correspond with sixth graders in area elementary schools, encouraging them to prepare for a college education.

Doug Peterson, ASWSU president dent Doug Peterson. The campaign has targeted 64 elementary schools in the North Davis, Ogden, Weber and Morgan school districts. "With the help of student coordinators we can reach every sixth grader and encourage them to do well in school and to prepare themselves for college," he said. The project's long range goal is to help students to see the purpose of their studying and perhaps provide a crop of eager, intelligent Weber State students in the future. Peterson said ASWSU wants to show the community that students at WSU are concerned about the education of younger students and impress upon the minds of parents and students the importance of community ties. He said he would like to see such a project continue every year. Students who wish to participate in the letter writing campaign are encouraged to not send a form letter to elementary students, but rather to write and talk about such topics as: Why education is beneficial and why completing high school is important. Why you are at Weber State and how you got here. Give your impressions of WSU. Share your university experiences and what you've enjoyed most about learning. How understanding people and sciences through education can help solve large scale social, international and environmental problems. Send the students your (See LETTER page 3) |
