                       TRIBUTE TO LINDSEY BIGELOW

 Mr. RUBIO. Madam President, I recognize Lindsey Bigelow, the 
Marion County Teacher of the Year from Ocala Springs Elementary School 
in Ocala, FL.
  Lindsey brightens her students' lives and begins each school day with 
a warm greeting. Her colleagues describe her as a triple threat style 
teacher. She brings creativity, student engagement, and classroom 
management, which shows how committed she is to the success of her 
students. She views her job as not being their teacher for 1 school 
year but for their education careers, and they are her inspiration to 
continue teaching.
  Lindsey teaches first grade English language arts at Ocala Springs 
Elementary School with 10 years of teaching experience in Marion County 
Public Schools. She attended Maplewood Elementary School, Osceola 
Middle School, and graduated from Forest High School. Lindsey earned 
her bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Florida.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Lindsey for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
