                        TRIBUTE TO KAYLA BAILEY

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I honor Kayla Bailey, the Gulf 
County Teacher of the Year from Wewahitchka Elementary School in 
Wewahitchka, FL.
  Kayla possesses a very positive attitude in the classroom and engages 
her students at a high level. These traits undoubtedly helped 
contribute to her receiving the Teacher of the Year award.
  Her colleagues attest that Kayla works hard to learn the needs of 
every student in order to reach them at their instructional level. 
Kayla's desire to teach to the best of her ability and treat every 
available moment as teachable for her students distinguishes her among 
her peers.
  Kayla is a fifth-grade English language arts teacher and, although 
relatively new to teaching and to the district, has quickly gained a 
reputation

for her respect to students, parents, staff, and the administration.
  I am pleased to congratulate Kayla for receiving this important award 
and her commitment to teaching her students. I extend my best wishes to 
her and look forward to hearing of her continued success.
