                      Wednesday, February 16, 2011

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Tiffany 
McKinnie as the 2011 Washington County, Florida Educational Support 
Person of the Year. I am honored to recognize her achievements and her 
dedication to the students of Northwest Florida.
  Mrs. McKinnie is an Exceptional Student Education (ESE) 
paraprofessional at Roulhac Middle School. ESE paraprofessionals serve 
an integral role in the development of ESE students. They are 
responsible for assisting teachers in a variety of ways to implement 
the instructional program. They work directly with children in small 
groups or on a one-to-one basis, and through this close interaction, 
they foster strong bonds that motivate pupils to develop the knowledge 
needed to provide a solid educational foundation.
  Mrs. McKinnie and her husband, Albert, have three sons and one 
daughter, and her time outside the classroom is spent enjoying quality 
time with her family. She is currently enrolled at Chipola College, 
where she is pursuing a degree in Exceptional Student Education.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to 
recognize Tiffany McKinnie for her accomplishments and her continuing 
commitment to excellence at Roulhac Middle School. My wife Vicki joins 
me in congratulating Mrs. McKinnie, and we wish her all the best.

                          ____________________
