                         TRIBUTE TO TONYA MILES

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I am honored to recognize 
Tonya Miles, the Putnam County Teacher of the Year from William D. 
Moseley Elementary School in Palatka, FL.
  Tonya was honored to receive this award, noting that she was 
overwhelmed with joy. Her colleagues commended her on the difference 
she has made within the school district.
  Tonya's students describe the culture in her classroom and their 
school as one of a big family. It is an atmosphere where everyone works 
to help others succeed. Her students feel like she is their biggest 
supporter, both in the classroom and in their extracurricular 
activities.
  Tonya has taught for 15 years and has been a fifth grade math teacher 
at William D. Moseley Elementary School for the past year and a half.
  I extend my best wishes to Tonya for her dedication to her students 
and community and congratulate her on this award.
