                      TRIBUTE TO BRYAN POEPPERLING

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Bryan Poepperling, 
the Hendry County Teacher of the Year from Clewiston High School in 
Clewiston, FL.
  In Bryan's classroom, his teaching of philosophy is based off a quote 
from Thomas Edison, ``There is no substitute for hard work.'' He works 
to instill this mentality to both his students in the classroom, and 
the student-athletes he coaches.
  Bryan is the social studies department lead and teaches advanced 
placement U.S. history and U.S. history classes to sophomore and 
juniors at Clewiston High School. He also coaches cross country and 
junior varsity basketball. He earned his bachelor's degree in secondary 
education and social studies at the Bloomsburg University of 
Pennsylvania.
  I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to Bryan for his dedication 
to helping his students succeed in school. I look forward to learning 
of his continued good work in the coming years.
