What does it look like?

This could be a formal or informal thank you note, a formal letter, a letter to the editor about an event held in the library, a full article celebrating the library program, or any other piece of evidence from your library advocates.

Thank you for the time and effort you have put forth…Your helpfulness has not been overlooked as it wouldn’t be Geo-Fair without the help and insight we received.

I wish to congratulate you on the Academic Honesty assemblies you ran for our students. Programs such as this enrich our school but they don’t happen without the leadership, commitment and energy of teachers like you.
