Dear Mr. Aymie,
Thank you for performing your play, A Child Left Behind, for our professional development series at the university. It was informative for our special education students as they prepare to work with students on the spectrum and their families. Our faculty reported that they used the play to also address important issues related to both special education and low socio-economic challenges. We truly appreciated the opportunity to work with you and provide this exceptional experience for our students and faculty.
With much appreciation,
