  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Abigail 
Harkey on completing the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program. The 
Fulbright program is one of the most prestigious and sought-after 
exchange programs in the world and speaks to Ms. Harkey's commitment to 
and passion for education.
  As an accomplished art teacher, the Fulbright program allowed Ms. 
Harkey to travel to Finland where she explored how arts education and 
social-emotional learning contribute to positive school culture. We are 
proud that Ms. Harkey will now bring this experience back to Colorado 
to enrich our schools and give our students an international 
perspective.
  On behalf of the residents of Colorado's 7th Congressional District, 
I congratulate Ms. Harkey on receiving the Fulbright Award and 
participating in this impactful program. We are lucky to have dedicated 
educators like her serving our students.
