To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Tracey Harris, an amazing individual whom I have had the privilege of knowing for the past 25 years. Throughout our long-standing friendship, I have come to admire Tracey not only for her outstanding work as an educator but also for her exceptional character. During the years I volunteered in her classroom as a Read to Succeed volunteer at Cole Elementary School, I witnessed firsthand the incredible impact Tracey had on her students. She possessed a rare combination of firm discipline and caring compassion, which made her a beloved figure in the classroom. Her students thrived under her guidance. She made learning both fun and meaningful and made sure every student received the attention they needed. Tracey is like a member of our family. She has been an incredible support to my family, especially with my son, Brett. Over the years, Tracey and her husband, Mike, have mentored and supported Brett. I have such fond memories of the camping trips we took together with horses, where Tracey always made us feel loved and welcomed as part of the group. I have no doubt that Tracey will continue to make a positive impact in whatever endeavors she chooses to pursue. She is truly an asset to any community, and I wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation.
Sincerely,
Sue Scott Harmeson

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing this recommendation on behalf of Tracey Harris. I have known Tracey for over 15 years. I have known her as a colleague in school and as a friend. She goes beyond to fulfill both. I don't know anyone that I have worked with that is more dedicated to her job than Tracey. She takes whatever job she tackles with ethics and dedication. She is very motivated to do the best at what she does. I am not one to just recommend somebody because they need a recommendation. It is actually my pleasure to do this for Tracey. Tracey would be a very positive and valuable addition to anyone who was lucky enough to hire her. I would be more than happy to talk to you over the phone if need be. 317-***-****) My name is Cheryl Cook. I was a teacher for 32 years at Clinton Prairie Elementary School. After I retired I went to work at Cole Elementary School and was the librarian. Cole is where I met and had the privilege to get to know Tracey.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Cook
