                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                      Wednesday, September 7, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Ms. Kelle Lyn Scott 
on being selected for a Presidential Award for Excellence in 
Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). This special honor is one 
shared with a select group of other teachers throughout the United 
States. Ms. Scott has earned this award through imparting her passion 
and commitment to learning with all of her students.
  The PAEMST program, administered by the National Science Foundation 
(NSF) on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology 
Policy, recognizes teachers who have demonstrated excellence in giving 
students the tools they need to succeed in becoming the leaders of 
tomorrow. Because of this achievement, Ms. Scott will receive a signed 
citation from President Obama, a $10,000 award from NSF, and the 
opportunity to attend an awards ceremony in Washington D.C.
  Ms. Scott's hard work, perseverance, and academic excellence are 
exemplified in her receipt of this honor. Coming from a family of 
educators, I understand how important a strong education is to the 
future of our country. We need to encourage more teachers like Ms. 
Scott who work hard and dedicate their lives to educating our children.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to highlight the importance of this award 
and what it represents for Ms. Scott and our district. I ask that my 
colleagues join me in congratulating Ms. Scott on receiving a 
Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. 
I wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
