Letters from Broken Bow children to First Lady Michelle Obama

Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Griffin and I’m good at football. I’m writing today to let you know that I’m hopeful that we should change the laws a little and I’m concerned that we are kind to animals.

Would you please help do that? I think this would help so we would not kill animals as much. 

Sincerely,

Griffin


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Alyssa and I’m eight years old. I admire how you help people. Did you know I want to help people too? 

I’m writing today to let you know I’m hopeful that you can give food to the poor. Would you please send homes to the hobos? I think this would help because they are homeless and have to jump trains. 

Sincerely,

Alyssa


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Kelsey and I’m seven years old. I admire how you are nice. Did you know my family has all daughters, too? 

I’m writing today to let you know I’m hopeful that our country will do well. I’m concerned about people who have lost their jobs and homes. 

Would you please continue to volunteer? I think this would help because we need people to volunteer.

Sincerely,

Kelsey 


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Kenna. I’m writing to you to let you know that I’m praying for you and your family. 

In God we trust,

Kenna


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

Hi!  My name is Ashley. I’m going into the seventh grade. I am 12 years old.

I admire you for how you help our country. 

I am writing today to let you know I’m praying for you and your husband. May your family have safety and justice. May you know how to handle hard situations. I pray that you can help our community as well as our country of the United States of America to handle our economic problems. I know you will try to make the wisest decisions to make the world a better place. So PLEASE do all that you can do to make your lives, our homes, our schools, and everything else better. 

Please help protect the lives of unborn babies unable to protect themselves. Please help children and others to be protected from abuse.  

Sincerely,

Ashley
