                      RECOGNIZING KATHY LINEBERGER

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate an 
outstanding teacher from North Carolina's Fifth District, Ms. Kathy 
Lineberger.
  Last Thursday, Ms. Lineberger, who teaches at Ward Elementary School 
in Winston-Salem, was named to USA Today's All-USA Teacher Team. This 
recognition means that she is one of the top 20 teachers in the United 
States.
  As a reward, Ms. Lineberger will receive $2,500 to share with her 
school. She plans to enrich the lives of her students by using a vast 
majority of her award to purchase books for her classroom.
  This is not the first national recognition bestowed to Ms. 
Lineberger. In 2000, she was named the National CHEM, which stands for 
Chemistry, Health, Environment, and Me, Teacher of the Year for writing 
interdisciplinary lessons. She also won the National Science Educator 
for Public Understanding Award in 1998 and was the Academically Gifted 
Teacher of the Year for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County in 2002.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of the Fifth District are fortunate to have 
many dedicated and talented teachers like Kathy Lineberger teach our 
children. I congratulate Ms. Lineberger and wish her continued success.
