                       Tuesday, February 2, 2010

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. 
Deborah Lynn as the Walton County, Florida Educational Support Person 
of the Year for the 2009-2010 school year. I am honored to recognize 
her achievements and her dedication to the students and teachers of 
Northwest Florida.
  Mrs. Lynn, affectionately known as Ms. Debby by her students, is the 
school nurse for Freeport Elementary School. She supervises the 
school's clinic, provides first aid for injuries, maintains health 
records, and administers medicine. But what sets Mrs. Lynn apart from 
her peers is her initiative. She created Freeport's annual Summer 
Safety program for students which brings community organizations into 
the school to teach students about summer safety. Mrs. Lynn also 
coordinates with the Walton County Health Department all student health 
screenings, records, and H1N1 vaccines. Finally, she goes above and 
beyond to also serve the school staff by organizing a mobile mammogram 
bus to visit the school annually and arranging flu shots for teachers 
and school employees.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am 
privileged to recognize Deborah Lynn as the Walton County Educational 
Support Person of the Year. Her passion for her students is commendable 
and her dedication to her profession makes her deserving of this award. 
My wife Vicki and I wish Deborah and her family all the best for the 
future.
