To Whom It May Concern,

We, the undersigned students of St. Johnsbury Academy, are writing to petition the school to provide pads and tampons in the women's restrooms on campus free of charge.

We believe that pads and tampons are essential sanitary products in a woman's life, and that women are being unfairly charged for these products. If toilet paper, soap, and paper towels are provided for free in public restrooms, we believe that pads and tampons must be provided in the same way.
