Read the following passage and answer the question.
King Valley Middle School
Dear Principal, We, the students of King Valley Middle School, are concerned about the decision to remove the three trees that are in front of the school. We know that you think there is an important reason to get rid of them, but before you do, please consider the following reasons why we should keep them.All three of the trees have been in front of the school since the 1950s. Since that time, they have grown to be very large and beautiful. When people pass by our school, the first thing they see is the trees. When they think of King Valley Middle School, they always remember the trees. If the trees were cut down, the school would be changed forever. Our school windows face south, and in the afternoon, the Sun gets very hot. The trees shade the classrooms from the Sun. This is what cools us down. This should make you happy because it would save money since we don't use the air conditioner a lot during the hot months. The trees were also there when some of our parents went to this school. They like the idea that we're enjoying the same trees that they did. If you let them cut down the trees, it will destroy our families' memories. We tried to picture the school without them; it's hard to imagine the school without the trees. Please think about these reasons before you make the decision to cut down the trees. We know you'll do the right thing by letting the trees continue to beautify and shade our school.
Sincerely, The Sixth Grade Class at King Valley Middle School.
