                        TRIBUTE TO DON CLERVEAUX

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Don Clerveaux, the 
Miami-Dade County Teacher of the Year from Phyllis Ruth Miller 
Elementary School in Miami, FL.
  Don spends each school day providing inspiration and dedication to 
his students. He helps them to conquer academic and personal challenges 
in an effort for them to have a successful future. Don seeks to 
strengthen his students' core values in their community schools and 
back home. He views those values as a ``cord of three'' challenging to 
break. He also helped his fellow teachers become certified to take 
their students to the Everglades to learn about this important 
ecological region of our State.
  Don is Phyllis Ruth Miller Elementary School's fifth grade Science 
and Social Studies teacher. He also coaches football, track and field, 
and strength conditioning at Hialeah Gardens High School.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Don for his 
commitment to his students. I look forward to hearing about his 
continued good work in the years to come.
