Subject: Suggestion for the Introduction of ’Cycle to School’ Campaign
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you as the Sports Captain of Pinnacle Public School to suggest the introduction of a ’Cycle to School’ campaign for school-going students. This initiative aims to promote fitness as a lifestyle and encourage children to adopt cycling as a form of regular exercise.
In today’s sedentary lifestyle, where children are often glued to screens and lead inactive lives, it is imperative to encourage physical activity. Cycling to school not only serves as an excellent form of exercise but also contributes to reducing pollution and traffic congestion. It fosters a sense of responsibility towards the environment while maintaining physical well-being. To execute this initiative, schools could organize ”Cycle to School” days, provide incentives for regular participation, and ensure the safety of students with proper cycling paths and helmets. Local authorities and school management could collaborate to raise awareness and make the initiative more accessible.
I believe this campaign will significantly contribute to the health and well-being of children across the country. I hope you will consider publishing this idea to inspire other schools and communities to adopt it.
Yours faithfully,
Sohail Khan
