                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 7, 2019

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sue Malahy for 
winning the Golden Apple Award. Ms. Malahy is the first educator from 
downstate Illinois who has received this award.
  Ms. Malahy serves as the Principal at Charles Lindbergh Middle School 
in Peoria, Illinois. Upon receiving the award, she was greeted in the 
school's gymnasium by golden balloons and singing middle school 
students to show their appreciation for her work and congratulate her 
on this outstanding achievement. Ms. Malahy as earned the admiration of 
her colleagues and students through her leadership. After five years 
with Ms. Malahy as principal, Lindbergh Middle School is known for 
having a positive culture for students and teachers to grow and support 
one another inside and outside of the classroom. One of the area where 
Ms. Malahy has led the way is helping teachers use data to recognize 
students' achievements. In addition, she has introduced programs for 
students to arrive early before school to study subjects such as 
algebra and Spanish. As a result of winning this award, her middle 
school will receive a prize to put towards enhancements at the school, 
while Ms. Malahy will use her prize to help prepare Illinois 
undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in education. I 
applaud Ms. Malahy's successful efforts to make her school a better 
place to learn.
  It is because of dedicated leaders such as Ms. Malahy that I am 
especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam 
Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Ms. Malahy on 
winning the Golden Apple Award.
