                       TRIBUTE TO ASHLEY BANGERT

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Ashley Bangert, the 
Indian River County Teacher of the Year, from Sebastian Elementary 
School of the Arts in Sebastian, FL.
  Ashley works closely with each of her students as she is committed to 
supporting their academic growth. She knows building a relationship 
with each child is imperative in nurturing them to be successful.
  Ashley also works with her fellow educators in connecting with 
students and their parents. This helps ensure that lessons taught in 
her classroom are also applied at a student's home.
  Ashley is in her 17th year as an educator and is a member of her 
school's PTA board. She began teaching fourth grade in 2005 before 
becoming a fifth grade teacher and a Title-1 Reading Interventionist. 
She is in her second year as the math instructional coach at Sebastian 
Elementary School of the Arts.
  I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to Ashley for her dedication 
to her students. I look forward to hearing about her continued success 
in the years to come.
