                          Monday, June 5, 2023

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Jennifer Blake 
as the Moore County Schools Teacher of the Year.
  Ms. Blake is a third-grade teacher at Carthage Elementary School. She 
credits her own student experience as her inspiration for becoming a 
teacher. Following the example set by her own educators growing up, Ms. 
Blake works diligently to provide third-grade students with an 
excellent academic foundation as well as serve as a trusted mentor for 
students as they develop important life skills. It is imperative that 
we acknowledge individuals like her who continue to assume the high 
calling of serving in North Carolina's public schools. As the son of a 
retired schoolteacher, I have seen the tireless work that educators put 
into developing our youth for a successful future. I am extremely 
grateful for her efforts and encouragement which have touched and 
benefited the lives of so many.
  Ms. Blake has led by example throughout her career and has made 
impactful contributions to our community. Carthage Elementary School is 
better today because of her passion and hard work. I would like to 
extend my most heartfelt appreciation for her dedicated service to our 
youth and wish her the best as she continues to educate and inspire 
those in her classroom.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in honoring and congratulating Ms. 
Jennifer Blake for being named Moore County Schools Teacher of the 
Year.
