  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor one 
of Tennessee's exceptional teachers. Lisa Roten of Adamsville received 
the Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year Award for our state in 2005. Her award 
is accompanied by a $10,000 education grant for her school. I know that 
everyone at Adamsville Elementary School is thrilled for Lisa and proud 
of her achievement.
  She has shown herself to be an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher 
while working with our sixth grade students. As a mom, I know the 
importance of a good teacher. Lisa clearly knows that nurturing the 
unique gifts in each of our kids is critical to education.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Lisa 
for her exceptional work.
