                       TRIBUTE TO BEVERLY McDAVID

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to Beverly 
McDavid, a teacher from Elliott County High School in Sandy Hook, KY, 
who is a recipient of the 2006 Disney Teacher Award. Ms. McDavid is 
being recognized for her commitment to middle school science education. 
Her ability to inspire her students with creative thinking and 
innovative teaching methods has resulted in her achieving this 
prestigious honor.
  The Disney Teacher Awards celebrate teachers that enlighten the lives 
of children by using creativity in the classroom to encourage them to 
achieve more then they ever thought possible. Award winners are chosen 
by their peers, which consist of leading educational associations from 
around the United States and former Disney Teacher Honorees.
  Ms. McDavid brings a unique educational experience to her classroom 
by encouraging free thinking from her students. She also uses various 
educational strategies to reach out to the diverse learning needs of 
her students and encourages them to succeed. Her relentless dedication 
has proven her a deserving recipient of this outstanding award.
  I congratulate Ms. McDavid on being a recipient of the Disney Teacher 
Award. Her love of teaching and devotion to her students make her an 
example to all the citizens of the Commonwealth.
