CONGRESSIONAL TEACHER AWARDS
______
HON. VERN BUCHANAN
of florida
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, April 13, 2021
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, Sarasota, and Hillsborough counties to receive Florida's 16th District's 2021 Congressional Teacher Award for their accomplishments as educators:
Tammy Merrell for her accomplishments as a teacher at Samoset Elementary School.
Carol Mays Davis for her accomplishments as a teacher at Lincoln Memorial Academy.
Jeramiah Bowman for his accomplishments as a teacher at Braden River High School.
Kari Johnson for her accomplishments as a teacher at Fruitville Elementary School.
Judi Robson for her accomplishments as a teacher at Sarasota Middle School.
Jeanette Marks for her accomplishments as teacher at Sarasota Military Academy.
Timothy Mays for his accomplishments as a teacher at East Bay Senior High 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.
