“Schoolteachers are an overworked and undercompensated group, but the good ones are always appreciated for the time and effort and commitment they make to kids. So I stand today to honor one of the best examples of a dedicated teacher, Margaret Obray, who was a government and history teacher at Mountain Crest High School in Hyrum, Utah. Mrs. Obray has dedicated the past three decades of her life to encouraging her students, both in and out of the school. She has worked tirelessly to open their minds to guide them towards a productive and meaningful life. Mrs. Obray has decided to retire at the end of this school year, having changed the lives of literally thousands of students who had the opportunity of being taught by such an outstanding educator. I have watched Mrs. Obray for many years and can verify that she is the epitome of what a good educator should be, and she will be sorely missed. So, Mrs. Obray, we want to thank you for what you have done, for the impact you've had on students you have taught in the past, the ones you are teaching currently, and we have pity for all those kids in the future who will never have that experience. ____________________”
