Letters from Plattsmouth children to First Lady Michelle Obama

Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Wyatt and I’m a fifth grader going to sixth grade. My mom is a working mom just like you. 

I’m writing today to let you know I’m hoping that more people will get their jobs back. I want to see more money put into wind farms. 

Sincerely,

Wyatt


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Noah. I like to play football and baseball. 

I admire that you went to Princeton University. Did you know we both like dogs?

I’m writing today to let you know I’m hopeful that people can afford college. 

Sincerely,

Noah


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Katie and I am going to a different school next year and I am nervous. I hope you send me a letter to help me. 

Sincerely,

Katie


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Brittany and I’m in third grade, eight years old, and I have one older sister. Did you know I have a dog names Cory, six months old. She is a German Shepherd. 

Sincerely,

Brittany


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Kendall and I’m going into the fifth grade. I love to read and I’m reading at a sixth grade level. 

I admire that you got a puppy for the girls. Did you know that Malia and I are the same age? I think school is very important. 

I’m hopeful that I can earn enough money to buy my brother a birthday gift. Would you please write back? I’d really appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Kendall


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Owen and I am nine years old and I love video games. I admire how you have a dog. Did you know I like dogs, too? 

I’m writing today to let you know I’m hopeful that I see you on TV. I’m concerned that my family can’t afford food. Would you please write back? I think this would help because I could write back again. 

Sincerely,

Owen


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

I am nine years old. I’m learning about the 1930s. 

Do you like to live in the White House? I like the way you take care of your family. 

Do your kids like to play at the White House? Do you know I have a dog like you do? Her name is Bella. I am concerned that we won’t have enough money to keep our pets. My wish is I hope you have a happy life in the White House. 

Your friend,

Brogan


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Austin. I like to play football and I like to collect cards.

Did you know we have two kids in my family like you. I am hopeful that I play NFL football.

Sincerely,

Austin


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

My name is Mykel and I’m eight years old and I have one brother and three sisters. Did you know I share my room like you did?

I’m writing today to let you know I’m concerned that we may run out of food and other families will, too. I think more people should have gardens like we do. I think we should have a big neighborhood and a garden so it will not be so much work for one family and you could have a big garden there at the White House.

Sincerely,

Mykel


Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

Hi!  My name is Elizabeth and I’m 11 and I like to ride horses. I like how you be a Mom. My concerns are to help my mom find a job. Would you please make getting jobs easier? I think it would help a lot of people.

Sincerely,

Ellie/Elizabeth
