  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. 
Bonnie Ard as the 2012 Walton County, Florida Educational Support 
Person of the Year. I am honored to recognize her achievements and her 
dedication to the students and teachers of northwest Florida.
  Bonnie Ard is the secretary for Maude Sanders Elementary School in 
DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Mrs. Ard considers the faculty and staff at 
the school to be a team and part of her family. She sets the tone for 
the rest of the school's faculty and staff, using her space in the 
front office to establish a professional, caring, and family-friendly 
environment that epitomizes the work of the faculty and staff at Maude 
Sanders Elementary. Tracey Dickey, Principal of Maude Sanders 
Elementary, extols Mrs. Ard's excellent rapport with the parents and 
students of the school and her steadfast desire to seek to serve the 
parents and students of Maude Sanders Elementary as efficiently as 
possible.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am privileged 
to recognize Bonnie Ard as the Walton County Educational Support Person 
of the Year. Her passion for the students of Maude Sanders Elementary 
is laudable and her dedication to her profession is exemplary. My wife 
Vicki joins me in congratulating Mrs. Ard, and we wish her all the 
best.
