  Mr. FLETCHER. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize an outstanding 
educator in the Central Kentucky community. As a mathematics teacher at 
Tates Creek High School, Rebecca Wood has inspired countless students 
to succeed through her patience and dedication.
  Recently, Ms. Wood was named High School Teacher of the Year for 
Fayette County. Rebecca Wood has worked hard to equip her students with 
the math skills they will need for both daily living and higher 
education. For the past twenty-five years, Ms. Wood has been a leader 
throughout the educational community. She has served with the local and 
national Councils of Math Teachers and is continually working to remain 
on the cutting edge of math education.
  Today, I join our community in recognizing an outstanding teacher who 
has given years of dedicated teaching to the youth of Central Kentucky. 
It is a pleasure to recognize Ms. Wood on the House floor today for her 
superior work in education which has earned her the Teacher of the Year 
Award.
