a letter from the president

From the White House.

May School students received a letter from President Joe Biden!

Last year, student's in Ms. Corrie's classes participated in a civics unit in which they studied topics such as the Constitution, the branches of federal government, and the New Mexico state government. They also flexed their composition skills to write to state legislators, President Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris.

In their letters to President Biden and Vice President Harris, students shared their experiences watching the inauguration, highlighted an executive order that they felt was relevant to their lives, and shared a little about May Center.

Students received a signed letter and photograph from President Biden this week in response to their letters. An excerpt:

Even at your young ages, you have the power to impact the future for generations to come. Throughout your lives, remain curious, creative, and fearless.

Returning students and students new to May Center were overjoyed by this delivery.
