"I was drawn to this school, in particular, for several reasons. In the local newspaper, I read that Ms. Kaufman brought a cinema studies class to this school, and that tells me a lot about the value placed on electives and teacher voice. It definitely communicates your school leaders value a well-rounded education for students. I was also very impressed by the awards you've won around the music program and for consistently strong testing scores. My neighbors have students who attend this school, and they rave about the parent association, which provides a ton of support and fundraising for the school. I am excited to be involved in a school community where teachers, students, and families are valued, listened to, and celebrated for their various contributions. This school seems like a great fit for me."
