                   TRIBUTE TO BRICE LEE WINFREE, JR.

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Brice Lee Winfree, Jr., 
the Flagler County Teacher of the Year from Matanzas High School in 
Palm Coast, FL.
  Brice feels a renewed sense of accomplishment when teaching new 
students

and seeing how much they learn by the end of the school year. Often, 
his former students visit his classroom to share their successes.
  Brice uses visuals to allow his students to pause and think when 
answering questions and encourages them to discuss and teach each 
other. Seeing his students stretch beyond what they believe they are 
capable of gives Brice a good sense that all their hard work, 
overcoming their struggles, and his lesson plans pay off.
  At Matanzas High School, Brice teaches AP calculus, AP statistics, 
probability and statistics, college algebra, and college trigonometry. 
He has taught for 22 years, half of that time in Flagler County.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Brice for his 
commitment to his students. I look forward to hearing about his 
continued good work in the years to come.
