Dear President Obama,
On January 20th, you will take an oath as President of the United States. At our school, we take an oath to follow school standards. Here is how our oath is the same and different from yours. One way they’re different is that we don’t talk in front of anybody and you will talk in front of 3,000,000 people. Our oath is cool, but yours is cooler.
Our oath is: “I promise to take care of myself. Take care of our school, and to take care of each other.” I think your goes like this: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States and I will do the best of my ability to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States."
I hope your 4 years go well.
Sincerely,
Alex

Dear President Obama,
On January 20th, you will take an oath as President of the United States. We take an oath to follow school standards. Here is how our oath is the same and different from yours.
One way that it is different is we make and follow our class rules and you make and follow the laws and you also need to make sure that other people don’t break the laws.
I hope you have a great stay at the White House.
Love,
Allegra

Dear President Obama,
You are now the President of the USA. Your job is to be the President and my job is to be a student. You need to take care of the USA and we have to take care of ourselves, others, and our school. We have class rules and you have laws. We have to take care of school mates and you have to take care of citizens.
I hope you like your new job and have a great time being the President and living in the White House with your family.
From,
Carlos

I hope you are the President of the USA.

Dear President Obama,
On January 20th, you will take an oath as President of the United States. At our school, we take an oath to follow school standards. Here is how our oath is the same and different from yours. You take an oath to protect the country. We take an oath to follow the school standards.
My dream is to be in the Army or the Marines and to protect the country and people like you. Can you help me get into the Army school when I am 12? I am 8 years old.
Love,
Jack

Dear President Obama,
Since you take care of the United States, I will take care of my school. Since you take care of citizens, I will take care of others. Since you take care of yourself as the President, I will take care of myself.
I am glad you’re President.
Love,
Jake

Dear Barack Obama,
You have to promise to pay attention to all the laws and we have to pay attention to the rules at our school, Highland View. We have to take care of our school and you have to take care of all the citizens, the White House and the USA.
I hope you enjoy your stay at the White House.
Love,
