Dear Producers and Editors of This American Life,        

   This story is about students' lives and opinions about different aspects of Sion. One key story is a large controversy. Which is better Coed or single gender. This story will share the opinions and stories from teachers and staff relating to this largely talked about debate. There are several differences between the two as you will read from theses opinions, including some of the advantages and disadvantages of both. Also you will hear hilarious stories about events that would never happen at a Coed school and some that will never happen at Sion.
     Another story is about the diversity of Sion with its foreign exchange program. There will be stories from those who are in Sion high schools around the globe. There will also be stories from the students who have been exchange students in other countries over seas and who have traveled over seas to visit the Sion school in Missouri. The students will share hilarious stories and tell of the advantages and disadvantages of being the exchange student.
    Then one other story is about how those who have already graduated tell stories about their time at Sion, and we see how it has changed from their years here. They can also tell us how Sion has helped them in college, finding a job, and beyond. They will tell us what class, teacher, after school activity, or any other aspect of Sion helped them the most. They can give tips on getting a job and using your knowledge from Sion or your high school to help you out in the real world. 

Thank you so much for your time.

Best Wishes,
