January 24, 2014 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter on behalf of Margaret Jarvis, who has been

a member of Cottonwood High School Choirs for the past four years. Margaret, known to most as Meg, has been a strong musician, leader, and academic student, particularly during the last two years. Meg has been a member of our premiere auditioned ensemble, Madrigals, for the past two years, a member of our auditioned Concert Choir for the past three years and was a member of our Mixed Choir as a freshmen. From the beginning, she was a strong force in the alto section of the choir. She is a competent piano player, who has been playing since she was seven, and has been able to help with alto sectionals and has participated as a pianist in Solo & Ensemble Festivals. She has been chosen as a featured talent in our annual Talent Showcase Concert where she sang and played the piano. She is a talented vocalist and has been featured in our Glee Concert as well. She has sung solos with the choir and in the school musical and has taken voice lessons since she was twelve. She has also attended events such as Julliard Drama Intensive at Snow College and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. As a freshman in Mixed Choir, I quickly noticed that Meg was a leader because she was great at staying on task and helping others want to do so. She was voted into our Choir Council, the choirs governing student leaders, for the past two years and this year the Choir Council members voted her to be the president of the council. She was also chosen to be a director and writer of this years Broadway Review, where she and a co-director were in charge of writing a script, auditioning the cast, and directing the show. She has been a valuable person in the community. She volunteers as an English tutor and helps children with their homework at Rose Park Elementary. She also hopes to make a documentary about childhood obesity. Not only has Meg been a strong musician and leader, but she has maintained a strong academic reputation. She has taken Advance Placement classes such as US History, Art History, European History, Human Geography, Biology, Calculus AB and English Literature, as well as Math 1050 and 1060, Writing 2010 and 2020, and Honors Humanities 2001 from the University of Utah. She has also participated in and placed at the Charter School Region Science Fair. In conclusion, I strongly recommend Margaret for anything she applies for. She has my upmost trust and confidence. Sincerely,

Cecil Sullivan Director of Choral Music Cottonwood High School csullivan@graniteschools.org Office: 385-646-8676 Mobile: 801-918-5389
