To Whom It May Concern,

I have been working at Elizabeth Hall Elementary School this past

year and have felt very fortunate to have had Jeannette Sather as
my go to administrator throughout the year, even though her
position was as a TOSA administrative intern.

In my current role and as a long time teacher in public schools, she

embodies what I believe to be what a principal's role is all about.
She is patient with and caring of all the children, and especially so
with our most needy and demanding students. Beyond that, though,
she has been encouraging to me in the various roles that I have
been assigned to, one of them in particular that doesn't fall in my
area of strength.

Jeannette learns what needs to be done, and she does it with

efficiency and kindness. She not only listens, but she really hears.
She shows her appreciation to the staff for our specific
accomplishments, as opposed to the more often general, "You are all
doing a great job!" once a week at staff meetings. In doing so, she
clearly models how all of us in education are asked to be with the
students in our care. I wish her all the best! Any school will be
fortunate to have her as an administrator and head coach of their
team.
