                     TRIBUTE TO CHARLES MEARSHEIMER

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Charles 
Mearsheimer, the Collier County Teacher of the Year from Oakridge 
Middle School in Naples, FL.
  Charles has taught U.S. history at Oakridge Middle School for the 
past 16 years and has worked in education for 24 years.
  Charles believes in his students' ability to achieve success and in 
the invaluable power of teaching to ignite the passion for learning 
that will follow them as they grow throughout their educational 
journey. He also serves as an unofficial mentor for new staff members, 
passing along his own passion for teaching. Both his colleagues and 
students feel the contagious effect of his enthusiasm and has led to 
Charles being one of the most requested teachers at his school.
  I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to Charles for his 
dedication to his students and look forward to hearing of his continued 
success in the years ahead.
