I've not seen it at our kids schools, but it doesn't surprise me. The 
school newsletters take all sorts of material; some presumably paid 
slots and others community oriented.

I think your idea is a very interesting one. It sounds simple enough. 
What would such a letter offer though? Would we not somehow need to back 
it up with some support option?
