teacher at Northeast High School in Oakland Park, Florida. Mrs. Flinn 
was selected as one of only 10 Society for Science & the Public fellows 
in the entire country. She earned this honor for her hard work 
inspiring excellence in scientific thinking and research among her 
students.
  The SSP fellowship includes an award of $8,500 for Mrs. Flinn to use 
directly in her classroom and full support to attend a Fellows 
Institute here in Washington, where I will have the personal pleasure 
of thanking her for her contributions to our schools and our community.
  My mother was a public school teacher, and I personally know how hard 
they work to help our children learn and grow. And that's why Mrs. 
Flinn and her actions in shaping our future leaders and scientists of 
our country and her efforts are an inspiration to all of us.
  Thank you to Randa Flinn and to all the teachers in south Florida.
