  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise and pay tribute to 
an outstanding educator from my district. Karol Sacca from Carbondale, 
Colorado has dedicated her life to the betterment of young people and I 
am proud to call her contributions to the attention of this body of 
Congress and our nation.
  Karol has been a teacher for a quarter of a century. She has spent 
the last eighteen years at Roaring Fork High School, where she is 
currently the school's librarian. In this position, Karol's endless 
enthusiasm and tireless dedication to her students has resulted in many 
accomplishments.
  Karol created a student media center at Roaring Fork High School and 
also spearheaded the creation of many innovative reading programs as 
well. Karol's voluntary reading programs have attracted the 
participation of over half of the school's students. This level of 
student participation is a testament to Karol's ability to connect with 
her students. Karol's ability and conviction have earned her the 
respect of educators statewide. She is currently one of four finalists 
for Colorado's Teacher of the Year Award.
