                CONGRATULATIONS TO ELISABETH JANE FISHER

 Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, I would like to take this 
opportunity to congratulate Elizabeth Jane Fisher of Boise, ID. She has 
been named as one of eight national finalists for the Richard T. 
Farrell Teacher of Merit Award.
  Ms. Fisher is being recognized for her ability to develop and use 
creative methods to make history interesting for her students. As a 
teacher at Riverstone Community School in Boise, she helps to cultivate 
exciting discoveries about the past. Her countless hours devoted to the 
Idaho National History Day have helped to promote an educationally 
stimulating experience for her dedicated students. She is committed to 
helping students develop their interests in history and recognize their 
achievements.
  I am heartened by the fact that there are educators who devote much 
time and effort to shaping the minds of our young people. Teachers 
educate the future leaders of our country. I am happy to recognize one 
such teacher who truly is making a difference. Again, let me commend 
Elizabeth Fisher for this accomplishment. I wish her all the best as 
she continues her efforts in educating the children of Idaho.
