To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter on behalf of Mr. Jaime Araujo, who was an outstanding student in my United
States History class at El Capitan High School. In class, Mr. Araujo has conducted himself with respect
for his fellow classmates and showed an interest in the subject matter by earning one of the highest grades
in the class.

Jaime comes to class prepared and ready to learn. He is both a team leader and a team player completing
group projects and assignments with excellence.

Besides being a very good student at El Capitan High School, Mr. Araujo is a four year member of our
Varsity Wrestling Team. The time commitment it takes to be an exceptional wrestler is unbelievably
difficult and time consuming. He not only excels in athletics but in his academics, as he has maintained a
solid 3.16.

I highly recommend Mr. Jaime Araujo for the scholarship your outstanding organization is offering as he
is truly a standout student-athlete at ECHS! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
spetty@muhsd.org​.

Sincerely,

Sheila Petty
