FRANKLIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS 1001 M Street Franklin, NE 68939 (308) 425-6283 Fax (308) 425-6553 huip://ipsflyers.org March 11,2019 Dear Sir or Madam: Ithas been my privilege to know Mr. Ben Jones for the past seven years. In that time, I have gotten the pleasure to know him in a professional capacity as a teacher/coach and Athletic Director. Ben began his teaching career in December of 2012 with Stapleton Public Schools where I was the 7-12 Principal. He served as a 7-12 Business/Technology teacher and was assigned the assistant coaching position in wrestling. Then during the 2013-2014 school year he took on the additional role of Athletic Director for the school district. Since that time, Ben has moved onto Blue Hill schools and we have been working hand in hand through his Athletic Director duties there. In my experience I feel, Ben is a dedicated individual that really cares about the development of students and student athletes. He works hard every day to try and make students better, and get them to achieve at their highest level, Ben challenges students to be their best in everything they do, and does not accept mediocrity out of students. In the classroom, he is very knowledgeable about Business and does a great job of using and teaching technology. He started the FBLA program in Stapleton and has continued to grow the FBLA program in Blue Hill. Ben is energetic and willing to do whatever it takes to make his job and the students suecessful. As an athletic director, Ben exhibits many leadership characteristics including but not limited to, organization, integrity, hard work, and responsibility. When Ben sets his mind to something there is no limit in what he can do for your school. For these reasons and his dedication to education it is without reservation that I highly recommend Mr. Ben Jones for this job opportunity. If you would like more information please fill free to contact me at 308-470-1261 (cell) or 308-425-6283 ext. 12 (work). Sincerely, ‘Adam Boettcher, 7-12 Principal/AD Franklin Public Schools
