                     TRIBUTE TO CYNTHIA BARRINGTON

 Mr. RUBIO. Madam President, today I recognize Cynthia 
Barrington, the Jefferson County Teacher of the Year from Jefferson-
Somerset Elementary School in Monticello, FL.
  From a young age, Cynthia's grandmother instilled in her the 
importance of education. In the years that followed, Cynthia became 
passionate about being a part of the educational system. Cynthia's 
favorite aspect of teaching is working with students in order to have a 
better understanding of how to best teach them.
  Cynthia began her career as a Jefferson County teacher and taught at 
Jefferson Elementary School for 27 years. When Somerset Charter took 
over the county's schools, she was included in the school transfer of 
teachers. She now teaches second grade at Jefferson-Somerset Elementary 
School.
  I extend my sincere gratitude and best wishes to Cynthia for her 
dedication to teaching and look forward to learning of her continued 
success in the years ahead.
