Gretchen, a student at Maltby Intermediate School, proposes putting advertisements on the school's blue, dull lockers to liven them up. She was inspired by a school in Minnesota that posted ads on their lockers for extra funds. Gretchen believes ads would make the lockers less boring, easier to find, and bring money to the school from businesses paying for the space. She provides examples of the decorated lockers in Minnesota and hopes the idea could spread to improve locker areas in other schools.

Dear Dr. Greg Grey,
My name is Gretchen and I go to Maltby Intermediate School. The lockers at Maltby are
blue, dull, and boring. I think that we should liven them up by posting advertisements on
them. We got this idea from a school in Minnesota that got together and worked to get
ads on their lockers because they were boring.
Some reasons I would like to put ads on our lockers is because the lockers are boring, it
would be easier to find them and it would bring money to the school because businesses
would pay us to put ads on our lockers. We saw some pictures of the lockers in the school
in Minnesota and thought they looked nice, so if they could do it why not us? I also think
that if we do it we can convince other schools around the world to do it too so that they
can follow with making the schools look nice. Please consider our ideas.
Sincerely,
Gretchen
