                      Wednesday, January 13, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Nicole Grindle of Malvern, Iowa, for her selection as the 
2015 Shenandoah School System Teacher of the Year. Nicole is a teacher 
at the Shenandoah Middle School where she teaches chemistry, physics, 
AP chemistry, and AP physics.
  Nicole is recognized by her peers as a teacher who has a passion to 
teach and one who reaches far beyond the status quo in teaching her 
students. She is committed to challenging her students in academics, 
leadership, accountability, and responsibility. Nicole has an 
outstanding skill in instructing her students and building 
relationships of respect with them. When not teaching Nicole takes an 
active role in a number of school activities by helping her students 
develop their talents for the future.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Nicole's leadership and her thoughtful 
technique. Nicole is an Iowan who is making a lasting impact 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 ask that my colleagues in the 
United States House of Representatives join me in honoring her 
accomplishments. I thank her for her service and wish her and her 
family nothing but the best moving forward.
