                         Thursday, July 9, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and to 
congratulate Cheryl Beaver of Clarinda, Iowa for being selected as the 
Educator of the Year by the Iowa Family and Consumer Sciences Educator 
Association. After attending Iowa State University, Cheryl worked for 
the Clarinda Community School District, where she has taught high 
school in Family Consumer Science (FCS) for the past 34 years. In 
addition to her teaching career, Cheryl has further invested in her 
students with her leadership of the Family, Career and Community 
Leaders of America (FCCLA) at the Clarinda High School and Clarinda 
Middle School.
  Cheryl takes great pride in teaching life skills and promoting family 
life in her schools and community. She teaches valuable life skills in 
consumer resource management, family living, food and nutrition, 
culinary arts, interior design, human development, child development, 
and textiles and clothing. She has earned the respect and admiration of 
students by giving them the opportunities for personal growth, 
expanding their leadership potential and developing indispensable 
skills to serve their families, communities, and workplaces. Cheryl 
teaches with energy and integrity. She treats all of her students 
equally and cares for their personal growth. Cheryl is a positive role 
model and has dedicated her life to improving her students' lives both 
in and outside of the classroom.
  I commend Cheryl's leadership and her caring style because it will 
leave a lasting impact on many of her students. Cheryl is an Iowan who 
is making a great difference in the lives of her students and for that 
we are deeply proud. She has dedicated her life to helping and serving 
others and so it is with great honor that I recognize her today. I know 
my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives join me in honoring 
her accomplishments. I thank her for her service and wish her and her 
family all the best moving forward.
