                         TRIBUTE TO LINDA ROST

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Linda Rost of Fallon County for being named Montana's 2020 
Teacher of the Year.
  Linda is a highly qualified science teacher at Baker High School with 
a master's degree in science education from Montana State University. 
Linda has been inspiring students and motivating them to dig deeper 
when it comes to science education. The folks in Fallon County are very 
proud of Linda's prestigious recognition.
  Because of the size of Baker High School, Linda teaches multiple age 
groups. While it is a joy, it is also one of the many challenges that 
comes from teaching at a small rural school. Linda goes above and 
beyond to find a variety of ways to connect with each student ensuring 
they understand the course material in a fun and engaging way.
  The Montana Teacher of the Year award is a long and competitive 
process. After interacting with several selection committees made up of 
top education leaders from across Montana, Linda was selected as the 
2020 winner. Linda will now go on to represent Montana in the 2020 
National Teacher of the Year competition.
  It is my honor to recognize Linda for her dedication to teaching 
young Montanans. Fallon County and Montana are very fortunate to have a 
teacher like Linda to ensure that our rural students are getting the 
highest quality education possible.
