Tussing Elementary (2nd Grade Teacher)

Dear Ms. Medina, I am writing to express my support for Elisabeth Cannon and her business venture, Power Play. I have had the pleasure of knowing Elisabeth for the past two years, when I taught her son in my second-grade classroom. During that time, we developed a meaningful connection through regular communication, shared values, and her consistent involvement in her child’s education. Elisabeth has always demonstrated reliability, initiative, and a strong commitment to both her family and her goals. Even after her son left my classroom, we remained in touch, and I have continued to see her dedication firsthand. She has been thoughtfully developing the concept for Power Play over an extended period of time, refining her ideas and considering how best to serve families and working parents in our community. As both a teacher in the local school system and a former stay-at-home mom myself, I immediately recognized the value of her vision. Power Play addresses a very real need—creating a professional, flexible workspace for parents, particularly those balancing entrepreneurship with childcare responsibilities. The idea of offering rentable workspace alongside on-site childcare is both practical and innovative, and it has the potential to positively impact many families in our area. I can easily see myself recommending Power Play to others in my network, including parents, colleagues, and community members who are looking for ways to grow their businesses while managing family responsibilities. The flexibility of options such as day passes, hourly rentals, and longer-term memberships makes this model accessible to a wide range of users. Additionally, the opportunity to host meetings, small group sessions, or classes within the space adds further value to the community. I believe Power Play will be a meaningful addition to our local economic ecosystem, supporting small business growth while also empowering parents to pursue their professional goals. Elisabeth has clearly invested significant time, thought, and energy into developing this idea, and I am confident in her ability to bring it to life. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Michelle Emory 2nd Grade Teacher, Tussing Elementary
