I am again writing to express out entire school’s gratitude for the fantastic motivational experience that your team treated us to on April 24, 2009. A group of over 500 junior high school students on a Friday afternoon is one of the toughest audience that any performer could ever face. Your people pulled it off in fine style, due in large measure to the fact that it didn’t seem like they were performing. As I may have mentioned in an earlier letter of recommendation to you, we got the feeling that we were engaged in a private, intimate conversation. It felt real, authentic, and sincere. Our students responded extremely well to this.
The recurrent themes that streamed through the hour were timely and appropriate for young adolescent students. It spoke directly to the critical issues that face them as individuals and to us as a society. Even cynical or immature in the group - and there will always be some of these - couldn’t be touched by the message and the methods that were delivered. In short, they were tuned in.
As in previous years, your entire staff - the team leaders and performers - were fantastic. They were friendly and flexible. You have clearly selected the right people for the job.
As indicated in my recent fax to you, we would love to have Absolute back to our school again next year. Friday, April 23, 2010 would be our first choice of date. If this does not work with your current schedule, we would look at some alternate dates. In any event, it will be an important date on our educational calendar. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours truly,
Calvin Jensen, Assistant Principal
