“Mr. President, today, we honor and celebrate Joan Middleton's commendable service to the Senate Employees' Child Care Center. On September 30, 2018, Ms. Middleton retired from the Center, where she worked as a floater assistant teacher for no less than 32 years. She was an admired and respected member of the Senate Employees' Child Care Center Team, her devotion to which was only rivaled by her love for the Washington Redskins. Ms. Middleton carried important responsibilities at the center, including regularly assisting in each and every classroom, as well as supervising and closing the center each evening. She not only took these responsibilities seriously, but went well beyond the essential tasks of her post. Her deep care for the community was palpable, as was evidenced by her consistent, inclusive, and thoughtful leadership. Without a doubt, Ms. Middleton played an integral role in each student and faculty member's day. For the students, she prepared snacks and lunches every day. All faculty went to her for anything from a ballpoint pen to a safety pin, garnering her the name ``Ms. Resource'' among her colleagues. Whenever anyone had forgotten where to find something or where it belonged, Ms. Middleton knew. For over three decades, Ms. Middleton was a compassionate adviser who shared her wisdom with the many faculty members she took the time to mentor.…”
