                       TRIBUTE TO SANDRA CARAWAN

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Sandra Carawan, 
the Gilchrist County teacher of the year from Bell Elementary School in 
Bell, FL.
  Sandra is dedicated to her students, working closely with them each 
day to help solve their problems. Her colleagues describe her as a 
tremendous asset and someone who will help in any way she can, whether 
as a teacher or with administrative duties. She was named Bell 
Elementary School's teacher of the year in addition to receiving the 
award for the district.
  A fifth grade exceptional student education teacher, Sandra acts as 
the lead teacher for her grade level. She also serves as Bell 
Elementary School advisory chair, safety patrol sponsor, district 21st 
century evaluator/coordinator, a positive behavior support team member, 
and a data evaluator for the entire Gilchrist County School District. 
She graduated from Saint Leo University, earning her bachelor's degree 
in Elementary Education in 1999 and her master of education degree in 
2007.
  I convey my best wishes to Sandra for her dedication to her students 
and school. I look forward to hearing of this continued 
success.
