Dear Sen./Rep. (last name):

Minnesota’s public K-12 schools are where our state’s future begins. At (your school’s name), educators are working hard to make sure all students succeed. I invite you to visit our school for a first-hand look at our successes and challenges and a chance to meet students and educators from your legislative district.

During the visit, you will have the opportunity to watch classroom instruction and talk with students, teachers and school support staff. We hope you’ll gain valuable insights on some of the issues you and your colleagues will be discussing during the legislative session.

If I don’t hear from you, I will follow up with a telephone call soon to find a time that will fit your schedule. Please call me at ___________________ or e-mail me at _________________ to set up a time to visit our school.

I look forward to meeting with you in our school building.

Sincerely,

(Your signature)
(Your name)
