                         TRIBUTE TO AMY ROBERTS

 Mr. RUBIO. Madam President, today I recognize Amy Roberts, the 
Columbia County Teacher of the Year from Summers Elementary School in 
Lake City, FL.
  Amy's colleagues describe her as an organized, structured 
professional with proven teaching, motivating, and leadership skills. 
These abilities undoubtedly contributed to Amy becoming her school 
district's Teacher of the Year.
  Her administrator noted that Amy works to ensure all students are 
able to experience success during their academic career. One of her 
former students remembers that Amy always did whatever she could to 
help them succeed in school.
  Amy is a firm believer in fostering a growth mindset and developing 
lasting relationships with her students and their families. She views 
these relationships as paramount to students achieving success in her 
classroom, college, and in working environments.
  Amy has been a teacher for more than 7 years, with most of those 
years at Summers Elementary School. She is currently a first grade 
teacher.
  I am honored to express my sincere gratitude to Amy for her hard work 
and look forward to hearing of her continued success throughout her 
teaching career.
