Thank you for encouraging us and reminding us that no matter what we do with our lives, we will need an education to do it. Each and every student has to fulfill his own educational responsibilities.

This is what many of the students attending Yorktown High School, in Yorktown, New York are doing to support you. Through a non-profit organization, Kids to Kids International, we are sending boxes of student-created picture books and educational supplies to children around the world.

We are awakening everyone in our school to help us reach out to the rest of the world in peace and friendship and this will be our contribution for now.

Through education, and learning about the rest of the world, we are seeing what the global problems are and doing something about  it. In your recent address regarding education, you asked us some questions and we hope we’ve answered most of them. As far as what a president who comes here in the future says about what we did for our country, we hope He/She will approve. Mostly, we are doing this for our current President.

So we’ll all be friends,

Laura Victor, Jesse Yuan, and Joseph Sloan
