To Whom It May Concern:

It is with pleasure that I write this recommendation on behalf of Bailey Kuehn. I had the honor to teach Bailey in my
Financial Management class this year as well as coaching her on the Varsity Softball Team since she was a freshman.
Bailey has consistently been one of the top performers, and she has demonstrated a love and passion for her
academics, softball and giving back to the community. Bailey is not only excelling in her classes, but she has also
dedicated herself to year round competitive sports teams. Some students desire to only maintain a high GPA, Bailey
is instead intrinsically motivated to create meaningful and enduring understanding while building relationships.

There is so much of Bailey’s personality I wish more students had. Bailey has demonstrated her leadership not only in
class but in the community as well. Bailey has maintained a full plate of Varsity Softball, but she has still found time to
give back to the school and community by volunteering with Cox Camps, a youth summer camp program run through
the our school. During her “free block”, Bailey spends her time in my office helping with various tasks that need to be
done do that summer program is successful. Last summer, Bailey would volunteer at our school’s summer camp
program, where she worked with the administrative staff that oversees the camps. Bailey did all of this because she
believes in the camps and the values that it teaches.

Bailey demonstrates all the qualities that you seek in a future teachers. She is intelligent, confident, determined,
disciplined, focused, diligent, responsible, compassionate, and driven. She is well respected by faculty and students
alike. She works well in groups, and yet is able to stand on her own. Clearly, Bailey is an exceptional young woman who
will be a great addition to your program. She is genuinely well rounded and her success and participation at
Frank W. Cox make her the best candidate for acceptance into program.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any additional questions regarding Bailey, as I wholeheartedly wish her
the best in all her endeavors.

Sincerely,

Stacey Bellissimo
