                       TRIBUTE TO ELIZABETH CAMP

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Elizabeth Camp, 
the Sumter County Teacher of the Year from Wildwood Elementary School 
in Wildwood, FL.

[[Page S4666]]

  Elizabeth believes that teachers hold several roles in the lives of 
their students. For example, they are responsible for imparting 
knowledge, as well as providing guidance and leadership related to many 
of life's skills. She often considers teachers to be surrogate family 
members for their students.
  Elizabeth's philosophy for teaching is one that states all students 
can learn and grow, no matter their background. She embodies the 
principle that having enthusiasm for learning is required to propel 
students, as well as others in the learning community, and makes for a 
more positive educational environment.
  Elizabeth teaches fifth grade math and science at Wildwood Elementary 
School and has been a teacher for 21 years. She graduated from the 
University of Central Florida with a bachelor's degree in elementary 
education.
  I extend my best wishes to Elizabeth on the decades she has devoted 
to teaching her students. I look forward to hearing of her continued 
success in the coming years.
