                         Tuesday, March 3, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Allison Gregg, a 
second grade teacher at Sidney Elementary School. Ms. Gregg received 
the STEM Education Award for Inspired Teaching.
  This award, sponsored by Kemin Industries, a Des Moines-based 
nutritional ingredient manufacturer, celebrates teachers whose 
leadership and dedication to Iowa's STEM initiative increases student 
interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Ms. Gregg 
said she found courses on NASA online where they could hold Iowa 
Communications Network classes with a NASA educator that opened the 
children's eyes. She is also always looking for ways to not only 
incorporate technology into her teaching, but also to make learning 
fun.
  I applaud and congratulate Allison for her award and for providing 
the youth in Iowa's 3rd district the education that they will need to 
be successful in the future. I am proud to represent her, her fellow 
teachers and students in the United States Congress. I know that my 
colleagues join me in congratulating Allison Gregg and wishing her well 
and continued success in the future.
