                        TRIBUTE TO KELLI McGAHEY

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Kelli McGahey, the 
Putnam County Teacher of the Year at James A. Long Elementary School in 
Palatka, FL.
  Kelli's colleagues note that she has an innate ability to connect 
with students struggling academically or developmentally. She often 
spends extra time helping those students better understand assignments. 
Kelli seeks to impart her love for reading to her students and is 
passionate about inspiring the next generation of avid readers.
  Kelli has taught first grade at James A. Long Elementary School for 6 
years. While Kelli was surprised to learn that she received this 
prestigious recognition, her students and colleagues consider her an 
inspiration and know it was well deserved.
  I would like to thank Kelli for the good work she has done for her 
students and extend my best wishes to her. I look forward to hearing of 
her continued success.
