Where can you make the best money? The answer is in SCHOOL. Stay in school! Put money in the bank!

If you don’t believe it, then just take a look at what a college education could mean to your pocketbook. Even just 2 more years of study after high school can significantly increase your potential income.

Dear teachers,

Please find enclosed 20 color posters. The Merston City Careers Counseling service, in association with the Merston City Board of Education, would like to ask all Merston City High schools to join the “Stay in School campaign.” Taking part is simple. Please display the posters in your classrooms. It is part of our ongoing campaign to encourage kids to continue their education after high school. If you read the following information, you will understand why we believe this campaign is so important.

It really can pay to stay in school. According to information released by the National Labor Board, the higher a person’s education, the more money he or she can make. Though there continues to be a pay difference between men and women, both groups definitely do better the longer they stay in school. For men with only a high school diploma, the average pay is twenty-two thousand dollars a year. Women with a high school diploma earn about eighteen thousand dollars a year. Adding two years of school increases the yearly wages for men to thirty-one thousand dollars, and twenty-six thousand dollars for women. Finally, completing four years of university earns men thirty-eight thousand per year and women thirty-four thousand per year. So the choice is clear — it is important to stay in school if you want to earn more money.

Thank you for your time and assistance. Together we can make a difference.

Sincerely,

Merston City Careers Counseling Service

Re: June 25^th Annual General Meeting

I know that you will be unable to attend this year’s meeting on the 25^th, so I am sending you the agenda now. Please take a look at it before the meeting and give me your opinion on the items.

We have decided to resurface the tennis courts and need to choose from three contractors. I will send you their price lists and a voting form later. Everyone at the meeting will have a chance to vote. As you know, we have suffered a lot of broken windows recently. I would appreciate it if you could fax me your ideas on how to deal with this problem. The fourth item on the agenda refers to renting equipment. We will limit rentals to one hour on weekends and two hours during the week. Only members will be able to rent equipment on weekends. This brings us to the next item: all members will be required to show their membership card in order to use the sports center at a discounted price.

Please send me your thoughts as soon as possible, and I will talk to you in person when you get back from your vacation.

Many thanks.
