Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the life of a teacher who continues to have an indelible impact on Arkansas, Margie Towery, who is this year's Greenbrier School District Teacher of the Year. Margie has dedicated her life to serving and educating Arkansas' youth. This is her 26th year of teaching, including seven at the nearby University of Central Arkansas. Margie is a big advocate for STEM education, particularly for young girls, and even takes her students to local universities to participate in their STEM activities. She started and led the Rhetoric Society at the high school until she became a full-time sponsor of the student council. Teachers like Margie prove that education is one of the best investments that America can make. I am proud to represent her and all the teachers of central Arkansas who are making a difference for our youth. Arnold Hameister Retirement
