The student who sent you this form has applied to take part in Newton Schools’ two week service trip to work with refugees in Greece.  Students who are chosen for these programs must demonstrate flexibility, maturity, ability to work with others, empathy and independence, and must have mental and physical health compatible with a week-long two week trip to Greece. We will be living and working together in tight quarters, and there is no room for drama. They should also be good representatives of their school, community and country.  The Selection Committee would truly appreciate any information or comments that you would be willing to share about this candidate that would help us to make an informed decision.
