                       TRIBUTE TO KRISTIN MURPHY

 Mr. RUBIO. Madam President, today I recognize Kristin Murphy, 
the Broward County Teacher of the Year from Nova Middle School in 
Davie, FL.
  In Kristin's classroom, being respectful and never lying are the only 
two rules. She considered it a high honor to have been among her peers 
that were also nominated for this award. She was taken aback after 
learning of their backstories and the great strides they are achieving 
for their schools.
  Kristin has been at Nova Middle School for 3 years and teaches world 
history and pre-law. She has been an educator for more than 20 years. 
She credits the school with providing several programs that present 
opportunities for students to improve their learning potential. In the 
law program, students work with the Public Safety Institute at Broward 
College to help future police officers prepare to testify in their 
careers.
  I am thankful to Kristin for her dedication to teaching her students 
and look forward to hearing of her continued success in the years to 
come.
