November 22,2004 Selection Committee RE: Nicole Barnes

I am pleased Nicole has asked me to serve as her reference for her application to Lester B. Pearson College. I have known Nicole for th ee yearc as her classroom
teacher, confidante and mentor

within the school and while participating in extra-curricular activities.


Nicole is full of abilitS enthusiasm and great ideas. Her academic abilities speak for themselves and I would rank her in the top 5 percent in her grade. Her inquisitive and challenging mind has developed over the past three years. Her involvements at our school are many. Our school newspaper has grown and prospered with Nicole as editor. She is able to encourage participation from others in a positive and supportive way. Other involvements I am aware of include founding the WDSS Choir and an active role in the Rotary Interact club at school.
have travelled together on a cultural excursion to Quebec City as part of a school group. Nicole was able to fully participate and provide leadership among the students during all aspects ofthe immersion experience. More recently (May 2004) Nicole and four other students participated in the Southern Ontario Mock United Nations Assembly at the University of Toronto. It was a wonderful learning experience as procedural wrangling and proper protocol provided Nicole and others with a very steep learning curve. Nicole was an excellent ambassador.
