November 28, 2016
Dr. Askew,

After years of working here, you improved school rating by 18 points and increased the
graduation rate by 25%, therefore you clearly understand the need to increase the ability of a
child’s chance of being successful in their future. You even gave the school the ability to become
the 7th S.T.E.M. certified school in the state of Georgia.

A way for you to allow students to continue to prosper is by encouraging students to participate
in Future Business Leaders of America. Many of the benefits students can receive are:

 Scholarships
 Discounts on daily activities
 Education
 Co-Curricular activities
 Leadership
 Internships
As listed above, these things provide students the ability to continue their education outside of
school and after. I would like to thank you for taking your time to consider this.

Sincerely,
David Welch
