                         TRIBUTE TO JULIE WADE

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Julie Wade, the 
Columbia County Teacher of the Year from Eastside Elementary School in 
Lake City, FL.
  Julie dedicates her time as a teacher to building relationships and 
trust with all of her students, even those considered the most 
difficult. She uses chess as an opportunity to reward and motivate her 
students and involves herself in various events throughout her school.
  Julie's work with her students is credited to their scoring the 
second highest Florida Standards Assessments English Language Arts 
scores in the school district and the highest Florida Standards 
Assessments for fourth grade math scores in the county last school 
year.
  Julie has been a teacher for 8 years and currently teaches fourth 
grade at Eastside Elementary School. She has taught at the school for 3 
years and sponsors the math bee. She is currently enrolled in a masters 
of education program.
  I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to Julie for her dedication 
to her students and look forward to hearing of her continued success in 
the years to come.
