                      TRIBUTE TO NICOLE A. GREBOSZ

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I honor Nicole Grebosz, the 
Volusia County Teacher of the Year from Citrus Grove Elementary School 
in DeLand, FL.
  In the same county where she completed her high school degree about 
17 years ago, Nicole was named her county's Teacher of the Year. She is 
a technology special area teacher, focusing on new technology 
instruction.
  Thanks to Nicole's hard work, more than 940 students at her school 
have access to the tools that will help steer their education. Nicole 
says her students think they cannot code because it involves a language 
they do not speak, but she knows this is not the case. She strives to 
make them believe in themselves.
  Nicole transitioned to elementary school in 2015, after having 
started her career in education at her alma mater, Pine Ridge High 
School. During her 9 years at the high school, she taught English and 
language arts. She also headed a web design class at Florida Virtual 
School.
  I thank Nicole for the commitment she has made to teaching her 
students to understand our rapidly evolving technological world. I 
extend my best wishes to Nicole on her continued success in future 
endeavors.
