To Whom it May Concern,

My name is Mrs. Lori Pascual and I am currently a 1 st grade teacher at Higley Traditional

Academy in Gilbert, Arizona. I had the pleasure of working with Amanda Whitehouse for a number of

weeks while she was fulling her course requirements for college credits. She was always on-time for

school and dressed in a professional manner. From day one, she jumped right into the classroom

activities and asked how she could be involved. Amanda interacted in a very positive and professional

manner with the students as well as the other 1 st grade teachers on my team. She consistently asked for

ways she could help, observe, or interact with the students. After a few weeks, she was able to take

over the morning meeting with the students and continued to run that through the duration of her time

in my class. Amanda stayed after school on a number of occasions to plan with me as well as to attend a

few professional development opportunities. She may not have been able to run small groups due to

the covid regulations within the school at the time, but she was able work with 1-2 students on various

activities. She was a hard-working and professional and I would have greatly enjoyed getting to work

with her again. If you have any further questions, I can be reached at Higley Traditional Academy

lori.pascual@husd.org.

Thank you,

Mrs. Lori Pascual
