                      A TRIBUTE TO LYNNETTE YOSSI

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 27, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Lynnette Yossi of Dallas Center, Iowa for being named the 
2016 Grimes Educator of the Year at the Grimes Chamber of Commerce 
Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony earlier this year.
  The Educator of the Year award recognizes a local teacher who has 
exemplified what excellence in teaching looks like. Lynnette is the 
Physical Education teacher at South Prairie Elementary School in the 
Dallas Center-Grimes Community School District. Lynnette has found that 
creating games around books helps the children learn while also staying 
engaged in physical activity. Each school day Lynnette stands at the 
main entrance to greet children and their families as they are dropped 
off, providing a smiling face to open the door, help direct traffic, 
and ensure everyone arrives and departs the school safely.
  Mr. Speaker, I'm proud to represent dedicated teachers like Lynnette 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize her today. I ask that my colleagues in the United States 
House of Representatives join me in congratulating Lynette for this 
outstanding accomplishment and in wishing her nothing but continued 
success.
