Clinton Elementary School rr 200 €. Franklin Street Clinton, MI 49236 517.456.6504 FAX 517.456.8201 December 17, 2010 To Whom It May Concern: It is a pleasure to write this letter on behalf of Kara Gardner who has been a student teacher in our building through the fall semester. She is clearly a “go getter”. Not only has Kara completed a highly satisfactory student teaching assignment, she is now substitute teaching half days in the Young Fives classroom while the teacher is on medical leave. In addition, Kara is also coaching in a neighboring school district. She will bring more marketable skills to the interview table when she completes her special education endorsement during the winter term. Many young professionals would not be able to juggle such a busy schedule, but Kara does this with energy and willingness that will carry her far in her teaching. Kara displays a confidence and capacity to work with a wide range of children- from Young Fives to fourth grade. This experience, along with her excellent teacher preparation from Siena Heights University, will give a potential employer a highly qualified candidate within an elementary school. Her special education certification will add a secondary level to her credentials. Please consider Kara Gardner for your next available teaching position. She will be an asset to your staff. Sincerely, Marcia Wright 4 Principal
