 CONGRATULATING MS. KATIA STEINBECK FOR BECOMING KRCG 13 AND MISSOURI 
        RETIRED TEACHERS ASSOCIATION EXCELLENT EDUCATOR FOR 2014

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 21, 2015

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ms. Katia 
Steinbeck for winning the KRCG 13 and Missouri Retired Teachers 
Association Excellent Educator Award for 2014.
  Ms. Steinbeck is a 3rd grade teacher at St. Elizabeth Elementary 
School, which is located in my hometown of St. Elizabeth, MO. She won 
the Excellent Educator Award for the month of March earlier in 2014, 
and then proceeded to receive the Excellent Educator Award Teacher of 
the Year for 2014 in May of last year.
  Providing a quality education for the nation's youth is a top 
priority of mine, and I commend educators like Ms. Steinbeck who take 
steps to enhance the classroom experience for their students, and 
recognize the amount of personal time all teachers spend to create a 
better learning environment for our nation's schoolchildren. Outside of 
the home, our teachers have the most impact on our children's 
development. By supporting our schools, and most importantly our 
teachers, both at home and in Washington, we come closer to ensuring 
that our children are prepared for the future.
  Ms. Steinbeck's dedication and commitment to the students of the St. 
Elizabeth community is exemplary, and I applaud Ms. Steinbeck for her 
outstanding success thus far in the field of teaching.
  In closing, Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Katia Steinbeck for a job well done.
