 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Bobbi Crafton Pinkard, 
the Madison County Teacher of the Year from Pinetta Elementary School 
in Pinetta, FL.
  Bobbi is passionate about teaching and making it as fun as possible 
for students. She often spends hours looking at books for students to 
read and enjoy, as she wants them to find joy in reading and writing. 
She hopes her teachings will help her students succeed in their lives 
after high school and hopes to make a significant impact on their lives 
and their educational careers.
  Bobbi is a kindergarten teacher at Pinetta Elementary School. She 
graduated from North Florida Community College with her associates in

her to give back to her community.

commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
