Dear Gordon:
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you and your student [I wasn't aware I had a student!] for outstanding academic achievement last semester. Your child [I have a child too!] has qualified for the Clovis West Honor Roll. The study habits and academic intensity that your child has demonstrated will prove very valuable not only in the aceademic world, but also in the professional world of work.
This academic excellence may qualify your child for the California Scholastic Federation, a statewide organization that recognizes high academic achievement. Please encourage your student to go to the library to pick up an application form that describes the eligibility requirements.
Clovis West maintains extremely high academic standards, and those studnets who achieve the Clovis West Honor Roll should be proud of their accomplishments and should accept the cahllenge to maintain their level of academic excellence throughout their high school careers.
Again, congratulations to you and your student for this outstanding achievement.
Sincerely,
Tom Lindstrom
Counselor [MY former counselor]
This is exciting news. Alright for outstanding academic achievement! Plus, I apparently have some student that I wasn't aware of before... and a child! The question is... who is the father?!
