RECOGNIZING MS. TANYA DURHAM AS THE WALTON COUNTY, FLORIDA EDUCATIONAL

SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR

______

HON. MATT GAETZ

of florida

in the house of representatives

Tuesday, February 2, 2021

Mr. GAETZ. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Ms. Tanya Durham as the Walton County Educational Support Professional of the Year. Since August of 2019, Ms. Durham has served the Walton County School District with exceptional passion and an unwavering commitment to serving others.

In Northwest Florida, we are fortunate to have some of the best teachers in the Nation. It is recognized that the position of custodian can be difficult--but also rewarding. Ms. Durham has performed her many duties without hesitation, while always providing a friendly smile for everyone she encounters.

Ms. Durham is revered by her Principal and colleagues for her strong work ethic and compassion. She selflessly considers the needs of both students and staff because of the immense pride she has for her school.

Her support and outreach extend far beyond the hearts and minds of her own students through her willingness to help wherever assistance is needed. Ms. Durham has displayed dedicated teamwork by coordinating events, like ``Family Night'' for The Boys and Girls Club and the May Day Festival. I commend her for her steadfast willingness to serve as an example for those who matter most--the students and youth of our Nation.

For all of her admirable contributions to our community, I am truly proud to have Ms. Durham as a constituent in Florida's First Congressional District.

Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am privileged to recognize Ms. Tanya Durham for her many accomplishments, and her commitment to excellence, professionalism, innovation, and collaboration in the Walton County School District. I thank her for her service, and wish her all the best for her continued success.
