                      TRIBUTE TO KIMBERLY CROWDER

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Kimberly Crowder, the 
Hamilton County Teacher of the Year from Hamilton County Elementary 
School in South Jasper, FL.
  Kimberly works to help each student be their best and considers 
herself blessed to play an important part in their lives by shaping 
them for success. She designs her lesson plans to meet the needs of her 
students.
  Kimberly is most proud of her recent contribution where she revised 
her school's intervention instructions. Their new plan for students 
implements prescriptive intervention tactics to improve their 
achievements in the classroom by focusing on their personal needs.
  Kimberly serves as a pre-K through fifth grade reading 
interventionist and the curriculum coordinator at her school. She has 
been with the Hamilton County School District since 2007, teaching 
kindergarten, first, and second grade students.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Kimberly for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
