Dear scholarship committee:

My name is Jane Smith, and I am the senior (2007) class advisor at Lincoln High School. Katilyn Jones has been an excellent student council representative for her homeroom since her freshman year at our school. She is a great help at our fundraising activities and full of ideas to improve the school or raise more funds. Some of her past ideas have included a t shirt sale during spirit week, rose sale at the senior prom last year, and a candle sale. I always look forward to the next meeting and hearing about her next fundraising opportunity for her graduating class.

Sincerely,

Jane Smith
