                      TRIBUTE TO MICHELLE COOLICAN

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I am pleased to recognize 
Michelle Coolican, the Flagler County Teacher of the Year from Buddy 
Taylor Middle School in Palm Coast, FL.
  Michelle believes the Teacher of the Year award goes beyond her 
personal achievement; she considers it an honor for the entire teaching 
profession. She credits her colleagues, the school's administration for 
its learning environment, and the students she works with every day for 
this recognition.
  Superintendent Jim Tager noted Michelle's ability to connect with her 
students by promoting learning through community projects and classroom 
experiments. She enjoys making her students excited to study science, 
and they have learned to expect a new project each time they enter her 
classroom.
  Michelle has taught science for 13 years at Buddy Taylor Middle 
School. She also serves as an adviser for the school's after-school 
STEM club.
  I extend my best wishes to Michelle for receiving this award and look 
forward to hearing of her continued good work in the years to 
come.
