                      Wednesday, February 16, 2011

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. 
Millie Kindig as the 2011 Washington County Rookie Teacher of the Year.
  A graduate of Florida State University, Millie Kindig received her 
degree in 2002 and moved with her husband to Alachua County, Florida 
where she began her teaching career. Four years ago, Mrs. Kindig and 
her family moved back to Northwest Florida, and she began teaching at 
Chipley High School in Washington County.
  Our many great teachers inspire their students to pursue excellence 
and to achieve greatness. During her short time in Washington County, 
Mrs. Kindig has proven to be an inspiring instructor. She helps mold 
the leaders of our future by providing a mathematical education that 
will give them the tools needed to succeed. She currently teaches 
Algebra, Geometry and Analysis of Functions. Her expertise is 
invaluable to her students.
  Mrs. Kindig's success in the classroom shows that with hard-work and 
commitment, young educators can be just as successful as their more 
senior colleagues. Her recognition as the Washington County Rookie 
Teacher of the Year is a reflection of her undeniable excellence in the 
classroom. She is among the great teachers in Northwest Florida, and 
Washington County is honored to have her as one of their own.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to 
recognize Millie Kindig for her accomplishments and her continuing 
commitment to excellence at Chipley High School. My wife Vicki joins me 
in congratulating Mrs. Kindig, and we wish her all the best.
