I’ve been blessed to know the Lyon family and Natalie for almost 10 years. I've witnessed her personal joumey and growth from a high school student to now a college graduate as she has served as our family’s primary baby-sitter to our four children for the past seven years Natalie is intelligent, hard working and trustworthy. Our family has always been comfortable with her in our home watching our children, Given the dynamics of four small children, it was satisfying to watch Natalie quickly access various situations and create an ‘outcome that was patient, loving and firm. She gained a special level of respect from our children and me for the way she interacted with our family. Natalie has a positive, can-do attitude that creates a warm and inviting environment for those around her. She is focused and hard working as she excelled in her studies while holding several jobs to help finance her college education She has a unique talent with children and I'm excited to see her pursuing a career in education, Natalie has a level of maturity and understanding of her environment not commonly found in someone her age. She treats those around her with courtesy and respect. I believe these attributes will make her particularly well suited for a teaching career and an outstanding addition to your organization, Sincerel; (ler fr — en R Purvis, Principal, Vice President & Portfolio Manager
