                        Wednesday, March 2, 2005

  Mr. SHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Jasmin Deboo, who 
was awarded Broward County, Florida's Teacher of the Year. Ms. Deboo 
has dedicated her life to her 5th Grade students at Deerfield Beach 
Elementary School for the last 11 years.
  Ms. Deboo's dedication to her students is quite apparent. She has 
gone above and beyond the average duties of a teacher by taking on the 
roles of a surrogate parent and that of counselor helping children deal 
with personal problems. This style of leadership has allowed Ms. Deboo 
to become a role model for not only her students, but also for other 
teachers at her school. Ms. Deboo is a person who has had a positive 
impact on all those lucky enough to be around her.
  Today, we recognize Jasmin Deboo for her accomplishments and her 
dedication to the students of Broward County, Florida. I congratulate 
Ms. Deboo on being named the 2005 Broward County Teacher of the Year.
