Persuasive Writing Prompt #6- Donation To Our School

If an alumnus donated a large sum of money to your school, how do you think that money should be spent? Write an essay convincing school officials to allocate the money in the way you think is best for the school.

It was a beautiful Monday morning at City Honors College Preparatory School. A student who graduated last year was making their way to the main office, and then after ten minutes they came out and that person gave me a smile. I went inside the office and I heard Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Wilson talking about a large amount of money that was donated to our school by an alumnus. It was a nice gesture from that person. Mrs. Brown said that they needed ways to think of how to use the money for the best of the school. I had a few ideas in mind.

Field trips would be a great way for us to make good use of the money donated by the alumnus. This can be a very educational and also a fun experience for all of us in school. This can help us learn new things. For example, if we go to a museum we can learn a lot about history which will help us understand it more if we have the class already. This will also give us an opportunity to socialize and interact with each other as we are being educated and having a fun time.

The money donated would greatly help us buy new school supplies. We are in need of new books and many more supplies. It would be nice for every teacher to have new supplies so they can be able to teach us the way we should be taught. In some cases, when I am in class the teacher has ran out of markers so we have to borrow one from another teacher. We could use the money to buy markers, pencils, pens, erasers, and any other school supplies we need. This money could help us buy more books so that every teacher has a class set and also a book for every student take home.

Every year, seniors have problems paying for their senior events such as prom, senior pictures, and grad night. The school can also use this money to help out the seniors. It would be such a good idea because it will help us save money from our pockets. Not only can it be used towards the seniors, but as well as for the underclassmen to help them pay for winter formal or for any other event that involves the whole school. It will help us all out and many more people will be able to attend the events. This will truly save money from our pockets that will help us out pay other important things that we might need in the future.

I really appreciate the person that made the donation to our school. They have given us a gift and it is something we will use wisely that will benefit our school, students and the teachers as well. The three ideas I proposed are adequate and I think they are the best ideas that we can follow as to how we should spend the money donated to our school. These are the ideas I have and the best ways to spend it for the convenience of our school, students, and the teachers.
