Dear (ELECTED OFFICE) (LAST NAME):

My name is (NAME) and I am a student at North Iowa Area Community College.  I am also a student at (HIGH SCHOOL NAME).  Our school, like all the Community Colleges of Iowa, is playing a key role in the economic recovery for Iowa’s future. 

As one of the important pieces of that solution, community colleges give high school students an opportunity to take career and technical classes, or advanced science and math classes that otherwise wouldn’t be offered at our high schools.

Opportunities like those provided to high school students and our parents through the Community Colleges of Iowa must be maintained.  Plus, over 90% of Iowa’s community college graduates stay in Iowa after they graduate—meaning the skills they learned are put to work here at home in our communities.

I appreciate your support of the role our regional community colleges play and ask for your continued support for community colleges throughout the upcoming legislative session.

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
