Recognizing and commending educator Nancy Brim; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Nancy Brim has been recognized as one of the 2008 Siemens Science Teacher Award recipients for going the extra mile to motivate and inspire students and for her spirited and creative service as a science teacher at Lakeside High School in Atlanta, Georgia; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Brim's dedication to teaching is motivated by her desire to show how science relates to what students are experiencing in their everyday lives and how it relates to their past experiences; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Brim impresses on her students the importance of taking responsibility for how they choose to live while supplying them with the respect and support they need to take control of their own lives, and at the same time, she shows them how science can be "cool" and important; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Brim has thoroughly demonstrated her strong commitment to public education by her service as the director of Camp Juliette Low, a summer girls camp; and
