Re: Nichole Short
To whom it may concern:
It has been my pleasure to know Nichole Short for the last 12 years and to have
witnessed the growth and development that she has gone through. I first met Nichole
when she was a 5th grader at Martell Elementary School. She was, at that time, a very
inquisitive and positive young woman who was always very motivated to achieve at a high
level. She was a classroom leader and was looked up to by her peers.
Over the past 8 years Nichole has been a counselor to our 5 th graders here at Martell
for our Outdoor Education Program. I have always found Nichole to be friendly,
outgoing, patient, and very understanding of the needs of our students. I have relied
on Nicholes leadership to help mentor many of our most difficult students as well as
our younger counselors. Under Nicholes leadership and guidance each student has had
very successful camp experiences. Nichole has always taken the time to listen to each
of her students and has helped them to gain self-confidence and have a more positive
camp experience. For the past 3 years Nichole has taught one of our units at camp.
She is always very prepared and goes above and beyond with her students. She has an
outstanding rapport with staff, students, and, most importantly, with parents.
It is my pleasure to recommend Nichole Short for a teaching position in your district.
It is my opinion that Nichole will make an outstanding addition to your building and
enhance your staff. It is also my opinion that she will become a true leader in the field
of education
I encourage you to contact me at Martell Elementary at (248) 823-3841 or on my cell
phone at (248) 953-3704 with any further questions that you may have regarding
Nichole Short. Thank you for your time and attention to this very important matter.
Sincerely,
