                        TRIBUTE TO LINDSAY BEAM

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Lindsay Beam, the 
Calhoun County Teacher of the Year, from Blountstown High School in 
Blountstown, FL.
  Lindsay records her classroom lessons so her students can listen to 
them at home while doing their homework. She does this in the event one 
may be struggling with a topic. During the COVID pandemic, Lindsay 
would go to a student's home to help with a lesson and gives one-on-one 
tutoring during her free time. She wants her students to know she is 
always there for them and does her best for their success.
  Lindsay currently teaches grades sixth and eighth grade mathematics 
at Blountstown High School. She graduated from Chipola College in 2008, 
earning her associate of arts degree in general education. She began 
her career in Calhoun County, teaching first grade at Blountstown 
Elementary School in 2010. Two years later, Lindsay moved to fifth 
grade, teaching reading, language arts, and social studies. She then 
moved to Blountstown Middle School as a sixth-grade math teacher and 
added eighth grade pre-algebra.
  I offer my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Lindsay for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
