                        TRIBUTE TO SALLIE MURPHY

<bullet> Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I am pleased to recognize 
Sallie Murphy, the Gadsden County Teacher of the Year from Greensboro 
Elementary School in Quincy, FL.
  Sallie always wanted to make a difference in the lives of children. 
If she is able to do that each day, it makes her want to come to school 
and work with a smile on her face. Her students describe her as a great 
teacher, and they appreciate her help in understanding what they are 
reading.
  Sallie teaches third grade at Greensboro Elementary School. She is in 
her 7th year of teaching. Sallie's mother, Patsy, was also a teacher at 
the same school for 33 years and knew Sallie would be a great teacher.
  I offer my sincere gratitude to Sallie for her dedication to her 
students. I look forward to hearing of her continued good work in the 
years to come.
