                       TRIBUTE TO PAULETTE CAREY

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I rise today to honor and pay 
tribute to Paulette Carey who was selected as the Veterans of Foreign 
Wars, VFW, National Citizenship Education Teacher Award winner for 
grades 6 through 8. She was chosen for her contributions as a teacher 
to classroom activities that have benefitted her students. Paulette was 
chosen among entries received from 53 VFW State and overseas 
headquarters.
  As a teacher at Oldham County Middle School, Ms. Carey has 
demonstrated excellence in her classroom that has made all the 
difference in the lives of her students. Her commitment towards 
improving the quality of education in Kentucky's schools has proven her 
value as an educator.
  I am glad that Paulette Carey chose to be a teacher in the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky, and it is a source of great pride to call 
attention to her excellence. The citizens from Oldham County are 
fortunate to call Paulette Carey one of their own. They are privileged 
to be served by such a fine educator. Her example should be followed by 
teachers across Kentucky.
