                       TRIBUTE TO DAWN HENDERSON

<bullet> Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Dawn Henderson, 
the Highlands County Teacher of the Year from Avon Park High School in 
Avon Park, FL.
  Dawn received this award at the Summit Awards ceremony held at her 
school. Her colleagues note that she dedicates herself to teaching her 
students, believing that education is the key to changing their 
mindset, and opens doors for their future success. Parents of her 
students say she is willing to meet with them at any time, before or 
after school, to discuss any concerns they may have.
  Dawn has worked at Avon Park High School since the beginning of her 
teaching career in 2004. She currently serves as an advancement via 
individual determination coordinator.
  I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to Dawn for her dedication 
to her students and look forward to hearing of her continued success in 
the coming years.<bullet>
