Dear Mr. Snell:

On behalf of the 8th grade students and staff I would like to thank you for allowing Doug Keil to visit our school. Middle schools are moving in the direction of interdisciplinary units, whereby a theme is selected and then built into the regular curriculum. Doug was the kick-off speaker for our first unit, Challenges. He did a great job. It is not easy to present to middle school students. They seem to have a critical eye and it is often hard to put something across to them. Through his life stories Doug was able to challenge the students to look at life in many different ways. He was frank and spoke from the heart. The students were most impressed.

I know that one of the current education drives is the bringing together of the schools with business. A fine example of this is you allowing Doug to come to Homer. He is an outstanding representative of your company.

Sincerely,

8th grade team
