Dear MLA’s, MP’s, Premier’s, and Minister of Education, (use the same letter for all of then if you wish)

I am writing to let you know of my deep concern for the future of French Immersion in New Brunswick.

(paragraph where parents insert their own story – of their child or children’s success)
I am a parent from Saint John New Brunswick who elected to enroll my son in Early French Immersion.  Although he initially struggled due to learning disabilities which was particularly challenging due to the complete lack of methods and resource support available for kids in this program, we kept him in the program and he is now thriving in grade 7.  At grade 7 he is able to speak French with francophone citizens from across the province, is proud of his ability to speak French and feels he is part of the bilingual fabric of our Province.

(optional paragraph – can be kept or changed to suit the position of the parents)
While I support the long overdue enhancements to Core French, I feel strongly that French Immersion options are an important part of our education system.  In particular, I support the maintenance of Early Immersion which is proven to produce the highest learning outcomes.  I would strongly urge you and your party to work hard to ensure that French Immersion remains a part of our education system. 

Sincerely,
