                        Wednesday, May 13, 2009

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to request the 
House's attention today to pay recognition to a constituent of mine, 
Mrs. Cynthia C. Snider.
  Cindy has been named Teacher of the Year at Ohatchee High School in 
Ohatchee, Alabama for the 2008-09 school year.
  Cindy was born in Mississippi to Eugene and Bobbie Champion and was 
the oldest of five children. Her paternal grandmother, Carol Champion, 
was a teacher in Highland Home, Alabama and always encouraged Cindy to 
love learning. Cindy grew up in Montgomery, Alabama and graduated from 
Auburn University with a degree in Accounting.
  After spending her career working as an English as a Second Language 
Instructor for Anniston City Schools, she went back to school at 
Jacksonville State University and earned her teaching certificate.
  She has been the Spanish Teacher at Ohatchee High School since 2005.
  Cindy's passion for teaching is evident inside and outside the 
classroom, and I am proud to congratulate her today for this important 
recognition.
