                         Thursday, May 3, 2018

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the significant 
accomplishments of Allyson Mallory who is being honored at the First 
Annual Women Who Soar Awards by the Chamber of Commerce in Highlands 
Ranch, Colorado. Ms. Mallory has worked in elementary, education for 
many years, but her accomplishments and inspiration for people extend 
well beyond the classroom.
  Allyson Mallory, who is currently the principal of Ralph Moody 
Elementary in Littleton, Colorado, was paralyzed from the waist down in 
a snowboarding accident this past December. Five months later, she has 
just returned to work as principal, and is determined to someday walk 
again. The amount of strength, determination, and courage that Allyson 
has shown is truly in an inspiration to us all. She is an amazing role 
model to the children at her school and our entire community.
  It is truly an honor to rise today to recognize Allyson Mallory, and 
I am proud to congratulate her on her recovery. Allyson has the 
fortitude and resilience to accomplish any goal she sets for herself, 
and I look forward to seeing her work and spirit grow in the future.
