                     TRIBUTE TO KASEY McKANE-BROWN

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Kasey McKane-Brown, the 
Okeechobee County Teacher of the Year,

[[Page S2003]]

from Okeechobee Freshman Campus in Okeechobee, FL.
  Kasey wanted to be an educator since she was a little girl and values 
each day that she can impact the lives of her students. Kasey believes 
this award belongs not only to her, but also to her colleagues who have 
supported her over the years. She views her teaching as a work of heart 
because she gives a piece of her heart to her students' education 
process each day.
  Kasey is a biology teacher at Okeechobee Freshman Campus. Kasey's 
students note she is smart and funny in the classroom and is always 
willing to help them in any way she can. They value her work ethic, 
efforts to build a strong bond with them, and appreciate how she takes 
an interest in them individually.
  I offer my sincere thanks and best wishes to Kasey for her devotion 
to her students. I look forward to hearing about her continued good 
work in the years to come.
