                      TRIBUTE TO CAROLINE BUECHNER

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Caroline Buechner, 
the Santa Rosa County Teacher of the Year from Navarre High School in 
Navarre, FL.
  Caroline was named teacher of the year after being selected among 33 
teachers nominated from each school in her district. Santa Rosa 
superintendent, Tim Wyrosdick, visited her classroom during one of her 
chorus lessons to present the award. Caroline was humbled to receive 
this honor and wished to convey a message to all educators: ``Join 
together to better the educational experience for students.''
  Caroline considers her students the best she could ever ask for, many 
of them are training for an upcoming singing competition. While she was 
shocked at the honor, her students knew she deserved the award and gave 
her a round of applause. She is credited for marrying academia and the 
performing arts and growing the school's choir program.
  Caroline has been a choral music educator at Navarre High School for 
the past 9 years and is the coordinator of the 2019 All State High 
School Concern Choir. Her chorus program is considered one of the more 
prestigious programs in Florida.
  I extend my sincere gratitude to Caroline for her dedication to 
teaching her choir students and look forward to hearing of her 
continued good work in the years ahead.
