Dear RHS Prinicipal Mr. Garcia:

As the critic-judge at the District 32-3A 2009 UIL One-Act Play Contest in April, I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was by Paula Lopez and her students. Their production of Scapino! was not only emotionally, intellectually and aesthetically stimulating, but was an absolute joy to watch.

Equally, if not more important, was the overall behavior of the Raymondville High School students. At a time when there are many complaints and concerns about "kids today," I am please to report to you that the students in your theatre program were excellent ambassadors for your school and your community. As a classroom teacher, theatre director and theatre adjudicator/ respondent for the last forty years, I know what makes for good productions and good studentsgood directors! And you certainly have that. The quality performance and the exemplar behavior of your students was the direct result of Paula Lopez's knowledgeable, industrious and dedicated leadership.

In short, you were represented by "winners" at this year's UIL One-Act Play Contest.

Cordially, Roger Schultz Professor of Theatre xc. Johnny Pineda, Superintendent Raymondville ISD Board of Education Raymondville Chronicle News P.S. I have been promised that they would do this for years by all workers and commissioners.
