                         Tuesday, April 4, 2006

  Mr. OSBORNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Nancy Campbell of 
Lincoln, Nebraska, on receiving the Commonwealth Academy Recognition 
for Educators (CARE) Award. The CARE award, presented by Commonwealth 
Academy in Alexandria, Virginia, honors educators who have made 
outstanding educational contributions in their communities.
  This year, Nancy Campbell was selected as one of only a few educators 
nationwide to receive this award for her work at the Lancaster County 
Youth Service and Juvenile Detention Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. 
Formerly of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Nancy Campbell has been teaching for 
38 years, and she has spent the past four teaching reading, basic 
skills and positive action in the boy's maximum security area at the 
Youth Service Center.
  Ms. Campbell received her B.S. in Education from Appalachian State 
University in Boone, North Carolina, and over her career she has taught 
at 12 schools in 9 States. Since one of her sons has Attention Deficit 
Disorder, she has a special understanding of students with learning 
challenges, serving as president of an Attention Deficit Disorder 
parents support group in Scottsbluff for 10 years.
  Ms. Campbell lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, with her husband Dave. She 
has three sons, one of whom is adopted, and has also raised three 
foster children.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding Nancy Campbell and 
congratulating her on this distinguished achievement.
