Use @Thrively for Letters of Recommendation, School Applications, Parent Conferences

It also serves as a great tool to remind those writing applications of the student's strengths, which can prompt memories of specific incidents and activities to shine a light on and include in the recommendation.

Here is what my profile looks like:
