                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 31, 2021

  Ms. CHENEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Reva Lobatos on being named the 2021 Wyoming Agriculture in the 
Classroom Educator of the Year.
  Reva Lobatos currently teaches fourth grade at Fort Washakie 
Elementary in Fremont County and is active in her school, education 
communities, and WAIC programs. Over the past four years, Reva has 
taught the Wyoming Stewardship Program to her fourth grade students on 
the Wind River Indian Reservation. These lessons provide a meaningful 
way for Reva to discuss natural resources, the economic impacts of 
those resources, and caring for the land.
  Over the past year, as the Covid-19 pandemic forced our children to 
attend school virtually, Reva found new and creative ways to give her 
students a hands-on learning experience. She utilized resources from 
the Wyoming Stewardship Program to allow her students to explore 
Devil's Tower and a Wyoming trona mine through virtual field trips. 
This new and creative way of teaching allowed her students to engage 
with the curriculum and develop an interest in our unique landmarks.
  This outstanding accomplishment is a true reflection of Reva's hard 
work, dedication, and commitment to her students. Washakie Elementary 
school is lucky to have someone who puts students first and finds new 
and creative ways to make learning interactive for their students.
  I thank Reva for her dedication to Wyoming students and contributions 
to education.
