MEMORANDUM

TO: Mr. Stephen Evans, Director

Suncoast School for Innovative Studies

FROM: Scott Lempe

Chief Operating Officer

DATE: June 29, 2009

SUBJECT: Grade "A" School

I want to take this opportunity to say congratulations to the Suncoast School for Innovative Studies staff and students for being graded an "A" school by the Florida Department of Education. Because our District has achieved at such high levels, we often take these significant accomplishments for granted. In truth, an "A" grade is only possible through the hard work and dedication of the entire team; teachers, staff, parents and students.

You and your staff have every right to be very proud of your accomplishments. At the end of the day it's all about kids - and something is obviously working at Suncoast School for Innovative Studies.

Please pass my congratulations and thanks to your staff. I'm personally proud to be associated with such outstanding professionals. I hope you and your staff enjoy an extra long summer and are ready to come back to a new and exciting school year focused on our nation's most precious resource --- our children!

Sincerely,

Scott J. Lempe

Chief Operating Officer
