                        Friday, February 9, 2007

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States 
Congress, it is an honor for me to rise today to recognize Glenda Jasen 
as Walton County, Florida's Teacher of the Year.
  Glenda Jasen joined the Walton County school district administration 
in 2001 with over 30 years of teaching experience and an educational 
background in Counseling and Personal Services; Elementary Education; 
and Early Childhood Education. Mrs. Jasen has proudly served the school 
district over the past six years, and Walton County is honored to have 
her as one of their own.
  Glenda Jasen currently teaches fifth grade at Van R. Butler 
Elementary School in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Every morning, Mrs. 
Jasen walks into her classroom with hope that she can provide her 
students with inspiration, and it is that hope coupled with her 
dedication and passion for teaching that she has won the hearts and 
respect of her students, colleagues, community and this distinguished 
award. To be honored as Teacher of the Year, the proof of greatness 
lies well beyond the title--it lies in the hearts and minds of the 
students and community who have been deeply affected.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to 
recognize Mrs. Jasen for her great achievement as Teacher of the Year 
and her continuing commitment to excellence at Van R. Butler Elementary 
School and in the Walton County School District.
