Cynthia Holt 2312 Inglewood Drive Kingsport, TN 37664 423-578-6932 To Whom It May Concern: It is my privilege to be able to offer this letter of recommendation for Ms. Patricia Kelley. Ms. Kelley is graduating from ETSU in December of 2014 with a BS in Early Childhood with certification in K-3. She has completed her student teaching experience this past year at Andrew Jackson Elementary in Kingsport, Tennessee. During this time I have been fortunate to be able to work with her in her first grade placement. From our experience together, I am excited to be able to put forth this letter of reference. Ms. Kelley possesses many admirable personal traits. She is industrious, professional, and very intelligent. She has demonstrated a conscientious work ethic completing all of her teaching obligations. She has always conducted herself in a mature and respectable manner. Her actions reflect thoughtful and productive decision-making abilities. She is excited about her career in education. The enthusiasm she brings to the classroom makes her an effective teacher. It is apparent that the same positive personal characteristics she demonstrates as a teacher are present in her relationships with faculty members as well. I can without reservation recommend her for a teaching position. She would be a great asset to any faculty. | am proud and inspired to see an individual of her caliber entering the profession of education. I know she is going to have a wonderful career as a teacher. Most Sincerely, Cynthia Holt
