                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 19, 2007

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Carolyn 
Kingland-Hanson as the recipient of the Golden Apple Award for her 
commitment and enthusiasm as a teacher in the Hampton-Dumont School 
District in Iowa.
  Carolyn says she is humbled by the honor and believes all her fellow 
teachers at Hampton-Dumont are equally deserving of the award.
  Carolyn has taught high school English and literature for 22 years 
and has a gift in working with teens. She is able to transform 
difficult literature into exciting and easy to learn lessons. Carolyn 
turns her classroom into a stage as students have the opportunity to 
act out scenes and dances that are in the books they are studying. Her 
recipe for success is her love of, and commitment to, her students. Her 
passion for literature and the teaching profession will continue to 
have a significant impact on her students for years to come.
  I congratulate Carolyn Kingland-Hanson on her well-deserved award, 
and I'm certain that she will continue to touch the lives of many 
students in her community. It is a great honor to represent Carolyn in 
Congress, and I wish her continued success.
