993 Words4 Pages

It is with great pride that we write this recommendation letter for Mrs. Lori Dornburg for the Outstanding Educator Award. We first met Mrs. Dornburg in 2008, when our eldest son was in the 5th grade and involved in Student Council and Academic Extensions at Sartell Middle School, and got the chance to have both of our kids participate in Sartell Middle School extracurricular activities under her guidance over eight years.

Mrs. Dornburg even offered a helping hand to events that she was not in charge of, including for a Homecoming fundraiser that the high school student council was running for breast cancer research. These are only a small portion of the larger commitment that Mrs. Dornburg has made to help students find their talents, achieve their goals, and learn more about themselves and the world around
