                       Tuesday, February 2, 2021

  Mr. GAETZ. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Ms. Tanya Durham as the 
Walton County Educational Support Professional of the Year. Since 
August of 2019, Ms. Durham has served the Walton County School District 
with exceptional passion and an unwavering commitment to serving 
others.
  In Northwest Florida, we are fortunate to have some of the best 
teachers in the Nation. It is recognized that the position of custodian 
can be difficult--but also rewarding. Ms. Durham has performed her many 
duties without hesitation, while always providing a friendly smile for 
everyone she encounters.
  Ms. Durham is revered by her Principal and colleagues for her strong 
work ethic and compassion. She selflessly considers the needs of both 
students and staff because of the immense pride she has for her school.
  Her support and outreach extend far beyond the hearts and minds of 
her own students through her willingness to help wherever assistance is 
needed. Ms. Durham has displayed dedicated teamwork by coordinating 
events, like ``Family Night'' for The Boys and Girls Club and the May 
Day Festival. I commend her for her steadfast willingness to serve as 
an example for those who matter most--the students and youth of our 
Nation.
  For all of her admirable contributions to our community, I am truly 
proud to have Ms. Durham as a constituent in Florida's First 
Congressional District.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am 
privileged to recognize Ms. Tanya Durham for her many accomplishments, 
and her commitment to excellence, professionalism, innovation, and 
collaboration in the Walton County School District. I thank her for her 
service, and wish her all the best for her continued success.
