To  whom  it  may  concern,  
 
  I  had  the  privilege  of  working  with  Ms.  Johnston  this  June  as  a  volunteer  in  my  
classroom  with  the  E.A.S.T.  (Elementary  Academy  of  Science  and  Technology)  program.    
E.A.S.T.is  a  part  of  the  After  School  Program  within  our  district.    The  camp  was  for  the  month  of  
June.    The  children  at  the  E.A.S.  T.  program  come  from  various  backgrounds  and  many  of  them  
don’t  have  the  learning  experiences  that  E.A.S.T.  provides.  
  Ms.  Johnston  volunteered  to  help  with  our  field  of  study  which  was  the  Science  of  
Sewing  and  in  the  afternoons  she  helped  with  the  science  classes.    She  was  a  tremendous  help  
from  the  very  beginning.    She  had  a  great  rapport  with  the  students  as  well  as  the  staff.    She  
was  patient,  kind,  helpful  and  enjoyed  being  with  the  students.    She  was  on  time  every  morning  
and  worked  until  she  had  to  leave  to  work  at  her  job  later  in  the  day.        Her  knowledge  of  
sewing  helped  quite  a  bit  and  passing  on  that  knowledge  was  a  great  asset.    She  asked  great  
questions  and  wanted  to  learn  as  much  as  she  could.    She  exhibited  many  excellent  qualities  
that  I  feel  are  needed  in  a  teacher.  She  didn’t  hesitate  in  helping  out  where  ever  she  was  
needed.    She  also  took  time  to  be  a  part  in  the  debriefing  of  our  month  as  well  as  helped  pack  
up  classrooms  at  the  end  of  camp.      
  I  really  enjoyed  getting  to  know  her  and  wish  her  well  in  her  academic  career.    I  would  
not  hesitate  to  recommend  her  for  positions  she  applies  for.
