Those words of wisdom came from a letter written to Seattle Seahawks tight end Luke Willson from Allen Creek Elementary second-grader Brody —.

Teacher Maggie Cameron assigned her students to write letters of encouragement to the Seahawks as they prepare to take on the New England Patriots in the 49th Super Bowl Feb. 1 in Arizona. Cameron’s class writes about three letters a week to practice capitalization, spelling, punctuation and more. She had them draw names on who to write to.

Not all of Brody’s letter was positive.

“You guys almost lost the game last week” to the Packers, he reminded them.

In a letter to defensive lineman Michael Bennett, Jesse recalled a more-positive moment in the Green Bay conference championship game.

“It was funny when you were riding the policeman’s bike,” he wrote.

He also looked ahead to playing the Patriots.

“Try to get a sack on Tom Brady,” he wrote.

Jake wrote something similar in his letter to quarterback Russell Wilson.

“You’re my favorite player. Beat Tom Brady!” he said.

Parker wrote about classmate Kennedy O’Day, who is at Children’s Hospital this week being treated for cancer. She has met some of the Seahawk players in person, including quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman.

Parker went on to say in a letter to safety Kam Chancellor, “I hope you guys win the Super Bowl.”

Another common theme was concern that the players would get enough rest before the big game.

“Do you get sleepy?” Kasey asked defensive back Jeremy Lane. “You need to go to bed at 1 p.m.”

Since they are second-graders, of course candy is important to them. Many of the students wanted to know if others players besides Marshawn Lynch like Skittles.

That was the first thing Ashtyn asked rookie offensive lineman Justin Britt.

“Do you like Skittles?” Ashtyn questioned.

Madison asked center Max Unger about Skittles and told him to “make shore you get enough sleep.” But Madison also boasted of having two Seahawks hats and a lot of shirts.

Many of Cameron’s students wrote about their love for the Seahawks. In a letter to Kevin Norwood, — wrote, “I love, love, love, love you.”

Stephen asked receiver Ricardo Lockette if he likes Sherman and Marshawn. “I love them,” he added.

Other students wrote about what a great team the Seahawks are. “You guys have great teamwork,” Kiana wrote.

But then she also asked a question of Lynch that any journalist on Media Day would have loved to ask.

“What kind of gum does Pete Carroll chew?”

“Those were amazing letters,” Cameron told her class. “Give yourselves a pat on the back.”
