To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter on behalf of Kendra Prudhomme, a colleague of mine at the Muskegon
Area Career Tech Center (MACTC). I got to know Kendra very well last school year when I
changed my career and became a consultant at the MACTC. She worked closely with me to
help me adjust to my new employment responsibilities and educate me on building policies and
procedures. We communicated regularly on several student issues and program concerns. It was
because of Kendras knowledge, guidance, and helpful nature that my first year at the Career
Tech Center was a success.

Kendra is an incredible student advocate. She communicates with students, staff and community
members to promote student success and develop opportunities for students to implement plans
for the future. Kendra organized personal interviews with all seniors in the building to help them
assess any needs they had for future college or career plans. Students trust Kendra and often
contact her for academic, personal, and career counseling. She has a special ability to develop
positive relationships with students and encourage successful educational experiences.

Kendra also demonstrates strong leadership and communication skills with staff. She was a
leader in formulating and facilitating an attendance committee aimed at improving student
attendance at the MACTC. She inspired staff members of the committee to develop a clear and
consistent method of documenting absences, making needed contacts, and implementing
interventions to positively impact student attendance. She is respected for her willingness to be
involved in the facilitating and planning of this committee and its activities.

It is a pleasure to be able to work with Kendra and develop a close friendship with her. The
Muskegon Area Career Tech Center is fortunate that she is a member of our team. I have no
doubt that Kendra would be a quality employee and a positive addition to any staff. If you have
any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
