  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Julie Fry, 
a first-grade science teacher at Roosevelt Elementary School in Yakima, 
for winning the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and 
Science Teaching--the highest honor the government can bestow on a K-12 
math or science teacher in the United States.
  Julie's love of teaching and ability to innovate during challenging 
times has motivated and inspired her students, and her efforts to 
instill critical thinking skills and strong teamwork at such a young 
age is remarkable. STEM programs are vital to our communities, and the 
work Julie does for her students has not gone unnoticed.
  I know she will continue to provide opportunities for students 
throughout Central Washington to gain interest, education, and 
involvement in the sciences, paving the way for the future generation 
of leaders in Central Washington.
  My sincerest thanks go out to Julie for her commitment to our 
community, and I look forward to witnessing her students' future 
success.
  I congratulate Julie on a job well done.
