                        TRIBUTE TO DANIELLA BOYD

 Mr. RUBIO. Madam President, today I am pleased to recognize 
Daniella Boyd, the Palm Beach County Teacher of the Year from Royal 
Palm Beach High School in West Palm Beach, FL.
  Daniella received this award in front of her students with a surprise 
visit from Palm Beach County Superintendent Donald Fennoy, her husband, 
parents, grandparents and her 7-week-old son. Her students credit her 
style of teaching that allows them to learn with ease.
  Teaching has long been a part of Daniella's ambitions, originally 
focusing on social science in college. Her time with Teach for America 
allowed for her first assignment in a math class, leading to where she 
is today. In order to meet that challenge, Daniella had to relearn math 
and considered it a great opportunity to better understand how to teach 
her future students.
  Daniella has been a mathematics teacher at Royal Palm Beach High 
School for 7 years and founded the school's math honor society and the 
Girls Who Code Club. She earned her master's degree from Harvard 
University. She is the eldest child of Ecuadorian immigrants.
  I extend my sincere gratitude to Daniella for her tireless efforts to 
help her students succeed in math. I look forward to learning of her 
continued success in the years ahead.
