  Mrs. WILSON. Mr. Speaker, during a time when the kids of this nation 
search for role models, Mary McAfee has become one to her students. 
Zuni Elementary School principal Mary McAfee was recently awarded 
$25,000 from the Milken Family Foundation. The Milken award is given to 
only 160 educators nationwide who display excellence in education.
  During her six years as Zuni Elementary's principal, Mary has 
improved curriculum, focusing on the enhancement of her school's 
technology, and for adapted learning to ``real world'' situations. 
Teachers at Zuni think she is an exceptional and caring principal, and 
one of New Mexico's best.
  Mary McAfee is a role model for us all. She has put in countless 
hours and effort to improve our future by improving the schools our 
children attend. Mary was nominated by her co-workers to recognize the 
hard work she has done to improve our children's education. And, she is 
just one of the great educators in New Mexico.
  Thanks to the Milken Foundation for recognizing one of New Mexico's 
best, and thanks to Ms. McAfee for her dedication to her students and 
teachers.
