Hana's Letter

1Dear Principal Ortiz,

2I think our school should have a Silly Hat Day. On that day, everyone could wear a funny hat to class.

3One reason is that silly hats make everyone laugh. A hat shaped like a fish or a cake would make the whole class smile. Also, kids could make their own hats out of paper and ribbon.

4That is why we need a Silly Hat Day. Please say yes!

5Your student,
Hana
