                        TRIBUTE TO SARAH IDSARDI

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Sarah Idsardi, the 
Hardee County Teacher of the Year from North Wauchula Elementary School 
in Wauchula, FL.
  Sarah integrates creative learning activities designed to engage her 
students and hosts virtual interactive cultural experiences joined by 
students from across the world. This innovative approach helps students 
interact with others outside their classroom. Her favorite part of 
teaching is reading to her students and sharing stories with them.
  Sarah considers herself to be a servant at heart. Not only does she 
teach, she is also a licensed foster parent and organizes tutoring 
services for children in vulnerable neighborhoods.
  Sarah is a fourth grade teacher at North Wauchula Elementary School. 
She volunteers for North Wauchula's afterschool activity programs, 
plans accelerated reader parties, manages the Cool Cat TV morning show, 
and coaches the Battle of the Books Team. She graduated from the 
University of Florida with bachelor's and master's degrees in 
elementary education.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Sarah for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
