                        Thursday, March 3, 2016

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, one of the greatest challenges in public 
education is the integration of learning opportunities for exceptional 
children.
  Dedicated parents, teachers, staff and administrators all contribute 
to the success of this effort. Today I congratulate Meredith Frisch, a 
paraprofessional at Westside Elementary School in West Fargo, who was 
recognized as Paraeducator of the Year by the North Dakota Council for 
Exceptional Children.
  This award recognizes individuals who work to promote significant 
educational successes for students, a commitment to continued 
professional development and the highest standards of educational 
quality.
  Meredith represents well all paraeducators in my state who dedicate 
their careers to working with exceptional students. She is known for 
her commitment to finding the best in all students, encouraging them to 
reach above and beyond their potential all with a unique brand of 
compassion and humor.
  She is a credit to all educators throughout North Dakota, and our 
state is better because of her devotion to exceptional students.
