To Whom It May Concern:

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for my valued
student-intern teacher Lauren Parodi. I am a Kindergarten teacher at Garin Elementary
School in the Brentwood Union School District. I have had the fortunate opportunity to
have Lauren as my student-intern teacher for the past two years. She exudes a quiet
confidence, knowledge, and determination to make education better for every student.

Lauren is an extremely hard working, conscientious, and a responsible young lady. She
pays close attention to detail and is a self starter. I can tell that Lauren thoroughly enjoys
teaching as she is always ready and willing to plan and implement engaging lessons that
our students love. Her delivery is always enthusiastic, inclusive and she knows how to
make every student feel valued.

Lauren is a true leader with so much to share. I am honored to write this letter of
recommendation for her. I am in awe of her outstanding work ethic, continuous positivity
and desire to help others. Lauren will start college in the fall, and has chosen to major in
psychology with the dream of becoming a teacher. Without a doubt, I know her goals will
come to fruition and her impact on teaching and learning communities will be great.

Sincerely,

Melissa Costanza
