22Dear [Name],
It is no secret that our school library was destroyed by the flood. The shelves and book collection needed to be replaced, as well as most of the chairs and tables.
Without your help, we would not have been able to purchase anything. The effect this would have had on the academic year, is unthinkable. Thank you so very much.
Thanks to your efforts and contributions, our school Carnival was a hit. We are luck that this event has grown every year, but we always find ourselves understaffed.
Thanks to you and other volunteers the event ran so smoothly. The kids are already looking forward to it again next year.
