Grade 7 Persuasive Essay

Decent Essays
Hello! I am a grade 7 student in Mr.Biran's class, and we have recently been informed that our grade will not be going on any over night trips this year that have been done in the past.

The former grade 7 student have had the ability to go on trips such as Ottawa and Montreal, and honestly, we don't think it's fair that this ends. Most parents are willing to pay the fee, and even though some can't, we have the capability of fundraising on our own with minimum aid of yourself and other staff. The majority of our grade would appreciate the opportunity to be able to go to Ottawa this year,
