                                 ______
                                 

                       TRIBUTE TO RENEE HENDERSON

 Mr. BEGICH. Madam President, today I wish to thank Renee 
Henderson for her 43 years of outstanding service to the Kenai 
Peninsula Borough School District, Kenai community, and Kenai Central 
High School on the occasion of her retirement.
  Since her first day working for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School 
District on August 30, 1971, Ms. Henderson has taught over 13,000 
students. Ms. Henderson provided students with many life-changing 
experiences, including traveling to destinations across the world to 
perform.
  Ms. Henderson has contributed to the Kenai Peninsula community 
through her hard work and dedication. She has touched thousands of 
lives by being a world-class musical professional. It is only 
appropriate through her contributions to the community that the 
school's auditorium was named the Renee C. Henderson Auditorium. She 
has shared her appreciation for the gift of music, through her 
concerts, tours, private lessons and choir program, to help countless 
young people nurture their musical gifts and enrich the world around 
them.
  Along with Senator Lisa Murkowski, I would like to extend my deepest 
appreciation to Renee for her many years of educational excellence. We 
wish the absolute best to her as she begins this next stage in her 
life.
