  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Jeanne Kaidy, a 
recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and 
Science Teaching.
  Ms. Kaidy has been teaching at McQuaid Jesuit High School in 
Rochester, NY, for twelve years, currently teaching Biology and AP 
Environmental Science. Ms. Kaidy serves as chair of the Science 
Department at the high school and an adjunct instructor at Monroe 
Community College in Rochester, NY. Her lessons have encouraged her 
students to develop skills in collecting and analyzing field data; as a 
result, Ms. Kaidy's students continuously achieve some of the highest 
marks among schools in New York State on the AP Environmental Science 
exam. Ms. Kaidy's commitment to the academic growth of her students and 
dedication to her work is deserved of this high honor.
  I am proud to honor her for the outstanding achievement of this 
award. I hope her excellence will be an example to the whole Nation and 
its hard working teachers.
