                        TRIBUTE TO KERI HEMRICK

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Keri Hemrick, the 
Collier County Teacher of the Year at Gulf Coast High School in Naples, 
FL.
  Keri believes motivating her students to impact their community is 
one of the most important commitments she makes as a teacher. She aims 
to lead each student, whether they have a disability or a gift, towards 
increasing their achievements in school. She works to ensure their 
success upon leaving her classroom.
  Keri's students were excited to learn that she had received this 
award. They were proud to see her recognized for representing the 
family-like environment she cultivated in their classroom. Many 
students have credited her for helping them to understand the new 
subjects throughout the school year.
  Keri is an exceptional education co-teacher, case manager, and chair 
of the exceptional student education department at Gulf Coast High 
School. She dedicates her life to making a difference by engaging her 
students with special instruction and services.
  I extend my best wishes to Keri for her dedication to her students 
and her community and congratulate her on this award.
