                       TRIBUTE TO JESSICA NOBLIN

 Mr. RUBIO. Madam President, I recognize Jessica Noblin, the 
Lake County Teacher of the Year from Leesburg Elementary School in 
Fruitland Park, FL.
  Jessica's students with special needs inspire her each day. She sees 
how they overcome obstacles to achieve their goals. She is a 
compassionate and motivated educator with a natural gift for 
instructing students and inspiring them to reach their full potential.
  Jessica views Leesburg Elementary School as more than just a 
building; it is her safe place. She started her teaching career at the 
school, where her mom retired, her children attend, and where her 
grandson will do so in 2 years. This makes her uniquely invested in the 
success of students, teachers, and the school.
  Jessica is a fifth grade teacher at Leesburg Elementary School, where 
she has taught for 10 of her 15-year teaching career. She also has 
worked as a curriculum resource teacher, math instructional coach, and 
DonorsChoose teacher ambassador.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Jessica for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
