                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. VERN BUCHANAN

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 10, 2019

  Mr. BUCHANAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
outstanding public school teachers in Florida's 16th Congressional 
District.
   I was once told that children are 25 percent of the population, but 
they are 100 percent of the future. And it's true. The education of a 
child is an investment, not only in that student, but in the future of 
our country.
   Therefore, I established the Congressional Teacher Awards to honor 
educators for their ability to teach and inspire students.
   An independent panel has chosen the following teachers from Manatee 
and Sarasota counties for Florida's 16th District 2019 Congressional 
Teacher Award for their accomplishments as educators: Marissa Dobbert 
for her accomplishments as a 7th Grade Math Teacher at Sarasota 
Military Academy Prep; Elizabeth Harris for her accomplishments as a 
3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Interventionist at Myakka City Elementary 
School; Chris King for his accomplishments as a 6th-9th Grade Special 
Education Teacher at Haile Middle School; Kate Kramer for her 
accomplishments as an Exceptional Student Education Liaison for PK and 
Autism at Fruitville Elementary School; Kari McMillan for her 
accomplishments as a Math Teacher at Palmetto High School; Ashlee 
Middleton for her accomplishments as an 11th and 12th Grade English and 
Reading Teacher at Sarasota High School; Nancy Miller for her 
accomplishments as a 3rd Grade Teacher at Ballard Elementary School; 
Kymberli Rivers for her accomplishments as a Literature and English 
Teacher at Manatee High School; Maria Underhill for her accomplishments 
as an 8th Grade Reading Teacher at Braden River Middle School.
   On behalf of the people of Florida's 16th District, I congratulate 
each of these outstanding teachers and offer my sincere appreciation 
for their service and dedication.
