To Whom it May Concern:

It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Kerry

McKeown as she applies for a teaching position in your school district.

Ms. McKeown was a student teacher in the Fall of 2020, at Rensselaer Park
Elementary School. She worked with students with varying abilities in her 4th
Grade classroom. I was continually impressed with the thoughtfulness,
preparation, patience and attention she gave to her teaching responsibilities and
students relationships.

Ms. McKeown is an aspiring young teacher that will serve your district well.
She is a motivated and committed educator. She is hard working, cooperative, and
was well liked in our school community.

It is without hesitation that I strongly recommend Kerry for a teaching

position. She is an intelligent and outgoing professional with a visibly strong
passion for teaching and helping others. In any setting or scenario, she brings a
strong ability to adapt to meet students' needs. Her knowledge, creativity, attention
to detail, and classroom management techniques make her a sought-after teacher.
Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss what she can bring to your
district.

Sincerely,

Melissa Santarcangelo
Assistant Principal RPES
