                      Thursday, September 29, 2022

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Amber Benson 
and Ruby Voss, eighth grade math teachers at Northside Middle School in 
Roanoke, Virginia, on being named National Educators of the Year by the 
Association for Middle Level Education.
  Ms. Benson and Ms. Voss have been co-teaching math since 2017. Their 
approach to the subject engages and educates the students who enter 
their classroom and has earned the respect of parents and other 
educators.
  According to the Association for Middle Level Education, the Educator 
of the Year award goes to outstanding educators who have made a 
significant impact in middle level education and on the lives of 
students aged 10 to 15 through leadership, vision, and advocacy. Ms. 
Benson and Ms. Voss have already been recognized by their school for 
this achievement and will be presented with the award at a conference 
in November.
  I would like to thank Amber Benson and Ruby Voss for their dedication 
to teaching the rising generation and their care and skill in doing so. 
My congratulations go to them and to Northside Middle School and 
Roanoke County Public Schools on receiving such a high honor.
