  Ms. GRANGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Wayne 
Nichols of Fort Worth, Texas for winning the ``Outstanding Teaching of 
the Humanities Award'' from Humanities Texas.
  Each year, Humanities Texas selects eleven teachers who have 
demonstrated outstanding skill and dedication in the teaching of the 
humanities to Texas students. The winning teachers and their schools 
receive a generous grant to purchase materials to enhance humanities 
education.
  Mr. Nichols teaches a variety of History, Geography and Culture 
classes for grades six through eight at the Middle Level Learning 
Center in Fort Worth, Texas, and was recognized for his ability to 
instill a love of learning in his students through innovative and 
interactive teaching methods.
  Because of Mr. Nichols' work, thousands of students have been given a 
new appreciation of the vital subjects that he teaches and the 
importance of those subjects in their own lives.
  I offer my hearty congratulations to Mr. Nichols for this well-
deserved award, and I am proud to have such an outstanding educator in 
my district.
