                       TRIBUTE TO SHELLY HINOJOSA

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Shelly Hinojosa, the 
Walton County Teacher of the Year from South Walton High School in 
Santa Rosa Beach, FL.
  Shelly's ability to help her students become civically engaged is a 
testament to her work as a teacher. She focuses on teaching civic 
responsibility and critical thinking skills to ensure they are prepared 
to further their education.
  Shelly works with seniors on college scholarship programs to ensure 
they qualify and helps them fill out the application paperwork. She 
organizes career fairs, as well as hosts business and college visits to 
talk with students so they can learn about options after they graduate.
  Shelly is the media specialist at South Walton High School. She 
develops the school's yearbook and teaches journalism to students. 
Shelly also won the Liz Moya Life Skills and Citizenship Award.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Shelly for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
