                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 9, 2020

  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, today I rise to congratulate 
Julie Olson, an educator from Woodrow Cummins Elementary in Conway, AR. 
Julie has been awarded the Association of American Educators Foundation 
and Arkansas State Teachers Association COVID-19 grant.
  Ms. Olson will use this special grant to buy robotic kits for her 
kindergarten through second grade students. Julie's had great success 
with these kits in the past and receiving more will enable every 
student to have their own kit in a socially distanced classroom.
  Incorporating technology with traditional learning keeps her students 
engaged and eager to learn. Her proactive curriculum adaptation allows 
students to benefit from hands-on, experimental learning despite an 
unprecedented classroom setting.
  I congratulate Julie for receiving this grant, and I know she is 
making her community proud. I thank Julie for her innovative methods in 
educating Arkansas' students.
