Lawrence Middle School Students Learn the Art of Business Letter Writing
LAWRENCE, NEW YORK (February 2022)—Lawrence Middle School seventh and eighth-grade students in Lisa King’s ELA class learned about the art of business letter writing. Knowing how to write business letters is crucial because they serve as a professional and formal channel of communication.
“Learning the art of business letter writing is a life skill that students will most likely need in the future,” said Willis Perry, Principal of Lawrence Middle School. “This learning activity was more than an in-classroom experience.

In learning the art of business letter writing, students were taught the structure of the letter, salutations, endings, address format for envelopes, and signature sign-offs. Students choose their favorite company to write to, explaining their interest in the company’s product and posing a question or questions soliciting a response from the company representative the letter was directed to
