MONTANAN OF THE WEEK
Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, I rise today in recognition of Sally Aschim, who is is retiring after 38 years of dedicated teaching.
Not only has Sally aided in the achievements and successes of Montana’s youth, but she also has spearheaded multiple community outreach projects aimed at helping those in her community. She took her passion for helping Montana’s youth outside of the classroom as well and helped design and build a playground in Sunburst, Montana.
In Montana, we know how important it is to give back to our communities and help one another, and Sally is a perfect example of this. Sally started the Christmas Stroll in Sunburst over a decade ago, which has enhanced the holiday for hundreds of community members.
Sally has a selfless heart and does everything with a giving spirit. The State of Montana is sad to see her teaching career come to an end, but her incredible legacy will continue to live on.
