One aspect of Moondance in which we pride ourselves is the caliber of teens who choose to join our programs. We ensure this tradition by asking each new applicant to submit contact information for two teachers who can speak on his or her behalf. I just wanted to share a few excerpts from some of the recommendations I've received this year (names have been changed to protect privacy!):
- "Lauren never ceases to amaze me with her excellence...I truly appreciate her willingness to motivate members of her group to work together to come up with solutions to problems."
- "Wilson's strengths include his energy, creativity, love of people, humor and outgoing personality...I believe that Wilson would not only be an asset to the Moondance program but would also benefit from the experience."
- "There is no one I would recommend more highly than Timothy. When I taught him last year, he was one of the most mature 7th graders I've ever known. He is reasoned and thoughtful, always giving 100%."
- "Jenny would be such an asset to your program. She is a hard worker, diligent student and level headed. But what I love about Jenny is that she is kind to everyone. Her smile is infectious."
We are looking forward to having so many bright, new individuals joining our programs this summer. As we experience record enrollment for 2013, we are welcoming more new faces than ever before, as well as welcoming back our valuable and friendly alumni. See you this summer!
