                          Friday, May 7, 2021

  Mrs. McCLAIN. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize a future leader of 
my community, Sarah Bussineau of Macomb, for being named the Michigan 
Association of Teacher Educators Secondary Grades Student Teacher of 
the Year for 2020.
  This award recognizes student teachers who have demonstrated 
outstanding performance during their student teaching tenure in an 
academic school year. Sarah's award-winning year took place at Cousino 
High School in Warren, where she taught band and choir students in 
grades 9-12.
  Sarah's achievement is all the more impressive when you think of the 
dual task student teachers face in balancing teaching with their own 
educational pursuits. As a student herself during this time, Sarah 
pursued a degree and graduated in December 2020 from Oakland 
University. She took on both the role of teacher and student with 
passion, dedication and commitment. I know there were probably bumps in 
the road, but I hope Sarah is able to recognize her hard work has paid 
off.
  Again, I congratulate Sarah on this well-deserved recognition. I wish 
her the best of luck as she begins her new job as a full-time teacher 
at St. Regis Catholic School in Bloomfield Hills, where she will teach 
general music, band and choir. I am confident Sarah will continue to 
excel and inspire in this exciting new role. We are proud of Sarah and 
we thank her for her dedication to our students, and we support her in 
her future endeavors.
