Senator Letter #27

Dear Senator:

My name is Edgardo Martinez. Currently our state does not allow students to have snacks in school. Snacks should be sold in schools because selling snacks in school will get money for the school and they can earn money to buy school equipment. Also that money can buy equipment to sport teams. Students bring money to school every day and they usually buy junk food or to pay for lunch. People think that by kids eating junk food and snacks that students will go over weight. That will also not happen because in school we have P.E and recess after lunch. During those two times a student can run and play and lose that weight. Those are some of the reasons why we should sell snacks during school. I think that not eating junk food during school is somewhat dumb. Students will bring it on their own anyway. Why not teach students to be responsible and empower them in their eating habits rather than forcing us to follow rules that apply only to those who have bad eating habits? Or why not make school more active?

We need this law because it can earn money for school and buy equipment for school. Every day a person eats junk food and in school people want to eat junk food. Me being a student would pay every day for junk food and I'm sure everyone would to. Making that kind of money can help the school a lot in many ways. One of the best things to do with what the money is to buy school equipment so the whole school can have good pencils and paper. It might be possible to make enough money to buy computers for classes and that way we won't waist paper. There tons of things that you can do with the money that we can earn. That is one of the reasons that why we should sell snack food during school and why we should sell snacks in schools.

This law will get money for our school and will get supplies for school and this law will also benefit the student. The law will get money for school because snacks are very popular and they will sell as they have never been sold before. If they are sold like that you will make a lot of money. This law will not only get money for school but it will please the student. That money that we earn can get anything for school or we can donate money. You might think that eating that much snack food will get you chubby and kind of out of shape. That also won't happen because students have specials like P.E or recess or if they are in an after school activities. Those are only some ways that some can lose weight.

This law will effect the people decide to buy the snacks. It will also affect the people that don't exercise at all. That way people might stay over weight. Even though that can happen they might still lose weight by walking home or in P.E. This law may affect everyone but anyone can get around it. Selling that candy or snacks will help schools.

This law will work to help the school a lot in many ways. This will work because getting money for school or send it to charity. Everyone likes snacks and candy and soft drinks. An average student brings 3 or 4 dollars a day and they can afford candy and snacks. People can get thirsty and might want to drink Gatorade or something. That is what can happen if we sell snacks.

Sincerely:


Edgardo Martinez
