                        A TRIBUTE TO KACIA CAIN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, July 8, 2011

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Kacia Cain, 
who teaches anatomy, physiology and biotechnology and was named 
outstanding biology teacher of the year for the state of Iowa by the 
National Association of Biology Teachers.
  Ms. Cain previously taught biology at Des Moines East High School for 
19 years before transferring this school year to Des Moines Central 
Campus High School. She is a native of Indianola, Iowa, and will be 
recognized in October at the National Association of Biology Teachers 
convention in Anaheim, California.
  Having a hands-on teaching style has allowed Ms. Cain to be very 
successful with her students. Using resources from nearby colleges 
ensures that students are making as many connections with real world 
research experiences as possible.
  I am honored to represent Kacia Cain in the United States Congress, 
and I wish her the best of luck in Anaheim, California. I also wish Ms. 
Cain the very best as she continues to serve as a mentor and role model 
to the students at Des Moines Central Campus High School. I know my 
colleagues in the U.S. Congress will join me in congratulating Kacia 
Cain.
