To: Scholarship Committee
I am happy to write this recommendation on behalf of Melissa Kaiser. As the Network
Administrator and Computer Instructor at Deubrook Area Schools, I have known Melissa for
about four years. As an 11th grader she was one of my Technology aides. As an aide her job was
to assist myself and students with any projects that they needed help on.
Melissa has done very well academically. Her GPA of 3.827 ranks her academically as one of
the top students in her class. I would describe Melissa as self-motivated, prompt and dependable.
She consistently puts forth her best effort to complete her tasks. Teachers comment on her
attentiveness and her willingness to do the work required in their classes. She has garnered the
respect of her peers and faculty. Whatever she sets out to do, she accomplishes. When she was in
my Multimedia Design class she was at the top of the class.
Melissa is currently the Historian of the Deubrook National Honor Society. This is a highly
selective group in our school. This is the 2nd year for her being a member of the Deubrook
National Honor Society.
Melissa is a bright, thoughtful and a well-rounded student. Melissa deserves to be recognized for
her many positive qualities. Melissas interest and research has led her to her chosen field of
Medical Lab Sciences. She will do really well in this profession.
Melissa Kaiser would be a deserving recipient for your Scholarship.

Sincerely,
James Niehus
