Robbie was a student teacher for Ms. Jodie Paster’s second grade class at Lincoln Elementary in Adrian. During that time, | observed him in the classroom and at extracurricular events as he conducted himself with the children effortlessly. | was frankly surprised by his maturity and comfort in taking the lead on teaching the curriculum and working independently with the children. it seemed as if Robbie had been teaching for years. My daughter, a student in his classroom, would often come home and talk about Robbie, describing specific items they worked on together and sharing stories about things that he did that day. Robbie was participative, had a great sense of humor and school spirit, and interacted with the children in a way that made them comfortable to ask him questions, seek his assistance, and made learning fun in the classroom I would be proud for Robbie to be my daughter's teacher, and frankly hope he will. A personality and talent like Robbie’s doesn’t come along often. | hope you will do all you can to keep him in our school system for the growth and success of our schools and our kids. if you would like any further information, | am happy to speak with you at any time. My contact information is below. Sincerely, Stephanie Hickman B6yse President and CEO Brazeway, Inc. shickman@brazeway.com 517-265-2121 office 517-260-7921 cell
