October 22, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: As Drake University’s Head Women’s Basketball Coach, I am writing to you in support of Cara Lutes and her determination and desire to obtain a teaching job in Des Moines Public Schools. I had the privilege of coaching Cara for three years at the Division One Level.

Cara has an ability to connect and communicate with people from varied backgrounds—whether her teammates, coaching staff, opponents, boosters, young fans, or members of the community. Cara has been devoted to investment in Des Moines as a city through volunteerism and inviting teammates to engage more deeply in volunteerism. She upholds integrity in her everyday life and the task at hand. Cara embodies a spirit that cares for people, supports people, and sustains and improves an environment. Cara is truly one of the best student-‐athletes I have ever been around. Her positivity radiates and is contagious to all. She is someone that will forever leave a lasting impression. She will be an incredible teacher, coach and mentor to so many young people. She has truly found her passion in teaching. Cara is an enthusiastic, positive, and loyal investor in people and places. This characteristic would dePinitely benePit Des Moines Public Schools, your students, staff, and families.
