Principal RE: Letter of Recommendation for Leia Barrett ‘To Whom It May Concern: Please accept this letter of recommendation for Leia Barrett for the position for School Counselor. In a sentence, Leia Barrett is amazing and we were fortunate to have her, as a school counselor for both 7 and 8 students at Snyder Middle School, during the 2020-2021 school year. It was evident that Leia approached each day with professionalism and took an active position in exploring teamwork with both staff and her peers to reach the common goals in serving our students at Snyder Middle School. Leia will bring a wealth of experience to any school or district organization based on her focus to support students, Not to mention, Leia exhibits a passion for connecting through genuine trusting relationships with many students that clearly served as a motivational example to other staff members. 1 found Leia to be dedicated and invaluable throughout the school year in various interactions as the principal Leia was visible, friendly, and very knowledgeable while exhibiting a strong presence to help our students grow academically and into their future endeavors. Leia accepted professional advice and has been a pleasure to work with this school year. Specifically, I have seen that Leia possesses the following qualities necessary for a life-long career in school counseling: various leadership skills, an ability to self-start and work independently, being collaborative with others, and the capacity to stay personable when communicating with all stakeholders throughout the school community. A few examples that capture Leia’s undertakings at Snyder Middle School would be her coordinating PSSA testing, the admissions process for 8!" grade students into BCTHS, SAIP plans related to student attendance during the pandemic, and handling various student crises. I recommend Leia Barrett to you without reservation. If you have any further questions with regard to her counseling abilities or character, please do not hesitate to call me. dh, Be Sincerely, Dr. Thomas Evert THE MISSION OF SNYDER MIDDLE SCHOOL IS TO INCLUDE AND PREPARE STUDENTS ACADEMICALLY AND SOCIALLY WHILE INSPIRING LIFELONG LEARNING IN A SAFE, SECURE, AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR BOTH STUDENTS
