Washington High School Bands Washington High Schoo! 4 Paul E. Brown Drive SE 330-830-3901 Massillon, OH 44646 April 3, 2023 To Whom It May Concer, Itis an extreme pleasure to be able to write this letter on behalf of Montana Fassnacht, I have known Montana for the past three years as she has been teaching instrumental music on my staff in the Massillon City School District. Montana has taught beginning and middle school bands, as well as some general music classes at our Intermediate/Middle School. She has also worked with our high school students by assisting with our marching band, leading our basketball band and working with soloists and small ensembles for adjudicated events. As I have witnessed her teaching over the past few years, I can say with certainty that Montana is a top-notch, high-quality music educator! Watching Montana interact with many students in a variety of ways, | have been incredibly impressed by ‘the way she has handled herself in all of those situations. She has a great rapport with the students and they know that she is there for them whenever they need anything. She has high standards and keeps the students ‘on task while still maintaining a positive atmosphere for them to work and learn. Montana has been a wonderful addition to our band staff. She is always punctual and prepared. She is very kind to everyone and handles herself in a professional manner at all times. She takes initiative to do things that need to be done before even being asked to do them. She is even willing to help out in ways that aren’t in her “job description.” She is a model employee and would be a great addition to any group. Personally, I do not want to lose Montana from my staff. She is a great asset to us. However, | know that she will be a great asset to any schoo! that hires her. 1 would highly recommend Montana Fassnacht for ‘whatever position you need her in! She will do a fantastic job no matter where she ends up! Sincerely, Sor MAL? Jason M. Nee! Head Band Director ‘Massillon City Schools
