                       TRIBUTE TO CHRISTIE BEVING

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 31, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Christie Beving of Norwalk, Iowa for being named the 2017 
Norwalk Educator of the Year at the Norwalk 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. Christie has been 
teaching English at the Norwalk Community School District for the past 
19 years, and this year is serving as an instructional coach. She is 
known by students and parents alike as an educator who is student 
centered, and always pushing them to their full potential. Her 
dedication to the children of Norwalk extends beyond her classrooms 
though. She is also a prep teacher at St. John's Catholic Church and 
volunteers for NABC basketball tournaments.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent educators like Christie in the 
United States Congress, and it is with great pride that I recognize her 
today. I ask that all of my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Christie for this outstanding 
achievement and in wishing her nothing but continued success.
