Not only have I been her science teacher for the past three years, I have also coached her and worked closely with her in student council and National Honor Society, both of which I am her advisor. Abbey has a great mind and a wonderful work ethic. Abbey pays close attention to details as is demonstrated in many of the projects that I have assigned over the years. Abbey makes sure that her work meets and exceeds high standards. She is just a wonderful student to be around and work with. Abbey is very deserving of this award!”
