Dear Mr. Hollis,

My name is Marisol Reyes, and I am Mateo's mother. Although I have dropped Mateo off at the school gate many times, we have not yet had a chance to formally meet. Mateo has spoken very highly of you since the first day of class. Every evening at dinner, he tells us "a Mr. Hollis story." The stories are usually about something funny you said or a clever way you teach, such as using a clapping game to help the class remember a science lesson. I think he is your biggest fan!
