Letter of Commendation

Dear Congressman Thomas Coburn,

                  We are requesting a letter of commendation for Mercy School. We are a private school in Edmond, Oklahoma. We have been around for about 12 years now. Starting with just fewer than 15 students, we are now offering classes from PreK3 to 11th grade. Our school is committed to teaching us to be balanced, contributing American citizens.

                 We believe that you should grant us a letter of commendation because we have impacted the community in many ways. Every year, we have a huge project to help the community. For example, we have helped the Oklahoma Regional Food Bank, participated in enviornmental programs, and are currently establishing a green team. We have participated in and won awards for many programs including student council, which helps raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness; Lego Robotics, a world- wide competition where students program and build robots and conduct in-depth research on a current medical issue; Newsroom 101, and Respect Diversity.

                We hope you take this into consideration and show your support for all the hard work that is being done here.

                                                                                                                          Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                           Maryam Salus
