                         TRIBUTE TO TRACY HALL

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I honor Tracy Hall, the Taylor 
County Teacher of the Year from Taylor County Elementary School in 
Perry, FL.
  Tracy's inspiration for her students and enthusiasm for teaching led 
to this important recognition. Her students recognize that she goes 
above and beyond her required duties to be the best teacher for them. 
She focuses on putting her students first and believes their emotions 
are as important as their schoolwork. She teaches them to believe in 
themselves and their ability to achieve. She is especially proud that 
two former students were inducted into the National Honor Society after 
they previously had difficulty learning and adapting while in third 
grade. They are now extraordinary students.
  Tracy has been a teacher for 21 years. She graduated from Florida 
State University with honors in 1997 and currently teaches third grade 
reading at Taylor County Elementary School. She has also taught at the 
primary and elementary levels with the Florida Virtual Academy.
  I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Tracy for her hard 
work and extend my best wishes for her continued success in the years 
to come.
