HILLSBORO SCHOOL DISTRICT GLENCOE HIGH SCHOOL October 19, 2016 To whom it may concern, Itis my pleasure to recommend Lucy Ellis, whom I taught for two years in my Health Sciences program. Lucy is a very talented student and she demonstrates a diverse understanding of health concepts. She has excelled in my classes and has earned all As. I found Lucy a very hardworking and dedicated student who is always eager to gain practical experience whenever possible. In addition to being a naturally hard working student, she is also highly dependable outside the classroom and works very well with others. Lucy is an active participant and leader in our school health club HOSA Future Health Professionals. Lucy brings an infectious energy and enthusiasm to her fellow students and teachers. She is an active participant in the community through Sparrow Club, National Honor Society, and HOSA Future Health Professionals. Sparrow Club is an organization where students raise money through community service to help a child with pediatric needs. Lucy loves to volunteer as much as she can while balancing her school and work. Lucy works for the city of Hillsboro as a lifeguard and a swim instructor. Her responsibilities at work include educating youth in water safety to prevent potential harm and monitoring the pool for preventing any harmful acts performed by patrons. She is currently certified by the American Red Cross Association in First Aid and CPR. Lucy has recently participated in a Tuality Healthcare Nursing Career Day to broaden her knowledge in the medical field. She would be a valuable asset because she is a self motivated, she works well with others, and takes the initiative to start and complete tasks. 1 confidently recommend Lucy to your program. She has not only proven herself as a {g00d student but also a good citizen, friend and community member. I know she will continue to contribute to those around her and will be a valuable addition to your program if accepted. Please feel free to contact me at lewism@hsd.k12.0r.us. I would be delighted to discuss Lucy's qualifications and experience in more detail if needed. ‘Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, f\twlanie uns Melanie Lewis‘ Engage and challenge all learners to ensure academic excellence
