To whom it may concern:

In addition to being a Math Teacher for currently eleven years, I

have also been both the Lead Senior Activities Advisor (9/06- 6/11) and

Assistant to Lead Advisor (9/02-9/06). As the Assistant, I aided the Lead

Advisor by maintaining the monetary records through Excel spreadsheets,

notebooks and receipt books. I also helped to make sure that students paid

their various dues and payments on time. By being an Assistant, I gave the

Lead Advisor the opportunity to have the office open more frequently during

the day for students to make payments and obtain information.

As Lead Senior Activities Advisor, my responsibilities included

budgeting; event planning; and organizing various events and records. I've

had the privilege to plan such activities as the prom, graduation trips, in-

school events, etc. Such activities required me to create a budget,

relationship with outside vendors (i.e. hotels, catering halls, DJ) and

maintain accounts that averaged $30,000 each. Throughout the years, various

fundraising tools were used to aid the seniors in their payment of various

monetary responsibilities.

I also served as the Rainbow Alliance Advisor for a year during this

timeframe. As Advisor to the RA, I served not only as a liaison for the

students in the school but in the outside community as well. We held

various meetings throughout the year among members, staff and

representatives from the community. At these meetings, we would try to come

up with strategies of implementing tolerance and acceptance among the

school community. Students would also partake in outside events such as

pride marches, day of silence, etc.

From February, 2009 through September 2010, I served on my schools

Leadership Team. As a member, I had the opportunity to attend once a month

meeting that consisted of several teachers; administrators; parents and

students. At these meetings, we worked on the schools Comprehensive

Education Plan (CEP). The CEP comprised of future goals we had for the

school. These goals ranged from courses that should be revamped to better

accommodate the students of different cultures, learning abilities, social

lifestyles, etc. to budgetary changes that should occur. Although my time

on the Leadership Team was brief, I definitely seen the impact that our

changes made to the school and the community around it.

I look forward to hearing back from you in the near future and to

discuss the position further.

Thank you very much for your time and cooperation in this regard. If

you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

With Highest Regards,

Jennifer Tokash
