                    TRIBUTE TO CASSIE CARDIN VICKERS

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Cassie Vickers, the 
Liberty County Teacher of the Year from Hosford Elementary and Junior 
High School in Hosford, FL.
  Cassie hopes to make lasting impacts on the lives of her students. 
Each day they are in school, she works with them to ensure they excel 
to be successful in her classroom and prepare them for challenges later 
in life.
  Cassie wants her students to continue to work hard and be passionate 
about learning. She credits those who worked with her to prepare her to 
be a teacher. This made her want to instill in her students the same 
guidance she received around their age.
  Cassie teaches English/language arts at Hosford Elementary and Junior 
High School. She graduated from James S. Rickards High School in 
Tallahassee and studied at Florida State University.
  I offer my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Cassie for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
