                        TRIBUTE TO MAKEDA BROME

 Mr. RUBIO. Madam President, today I honor Makeda Brome, the 
St. Lucie County Teacher of the Year from Fort Pierce Westwood High 
School in Fort Pierce, FL.
  After receiving this important recognition, Makeda said everything 
she does is to serve others and see them experience success in all 
aspects of their lives. She takes to heart the fact that her students 
must learn mathematics and retain what she has taught in order to be 
successful in their next courses, in college, and beyond.
  Makeda models the best practices she has seen into her classroom to 
provide students with the best opportunity to succeed. Her colleagues 
note her expertise in a wide array of mathematics practices and keen 
ability to share this knowledge with others makes her an energetic 
educator and a leader among her school.
