                    TRIBUTE TO DIANA BOSFIELD-MOORE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. KENDRICK B. MEEK

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 3, 2003

  Mr. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Diana Bosfield-Moore, a teacher at Phyllis R. Miller Elementary School 
who, after 28 and a half years of dedicated service, has decided to 
retire from the Dade County Public Schools.
  Diana Bosfield-Moore was born and raised in Miami, Florida and is a 
proud graduate of Miami Northwestern Sr. High School. She attended 
Miami Dade Community College where she received her AA Degree and went 
on to receive her Bachelor of Science Degree from Florida Memorial 
College.
  Ms. Bosfield-Moore brought a wealth of educational experience to her 
teaching. She began her career in education as a Paraprofessional in 
1974. Soon afterwards, Ms. Bosfield Moore moved to Computer Lab 
Specialist, Reading Tutor, Substitute Teacher, After-School Care 
Supervisor, Associate Educator, and now an Elementary School Teacher.
  Ms. Bosfield-Moore is a role model who demonstrated in her own life 
how her students could overcome the obstacles they faced in theirs. She 
raised five of her sibling's children; two of her own children; and 
four grandchildren, and still she made the time to graduate from 
college with a teaching degree at the age of forty-three. This is a 
truly remarkable task, and it speaks volumes about the truly remarkable 
person she is.
  Ms. Bosfield-Moore's dedication, loyalty, compassion, and involvement 
will be sorely missed at Phyllis R. Miller Elementary School, by 
parents, colleagues, administrators and students alike.
  Congratulations, Ms. Bosfield-Moore, for a job well done.
