                               RESOLUTION


 
     Congratulating Lutheran schools, students, parents, teachers, 
 administrators, and congregations across the Nation for their ongoing 
          contributions to education, and for other purposes.

Whereas the Nation's Lutheran schools deliver high-quality education and 
        challenge students to reach their potential;
Whereas there are 4,841 Lutheran early childhood centers, elementary schools, 
        and secondary schools in the United States served by 40,076 teachers;
Whereas the Nation's total Lutheran school student enrollment is 572,877;
Whereas Lutheran schools produce students strongly dedicated to their faith, 
        values, and morals by providing an environment that encourages honesty, 
        trust, respect, and responsibility; and
Whereas the week beginning on March 2, 2003, has been established as National 
        Lutheran Schools Week for the purpose of recognizing the vital 
        contributions of the Nation's Lutheran early childhood education 
        centers, elementary schools, and secondary schools: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals of National Lutheran Schools Week, 
        which is celebrated by several synods that have educational 
        institutions, for the purpose of recognizing their academic 
        achievement; and
            (2) congratulates Lutheran schools, students, parents, 
        teachers, administrators, and congregations across the Nation 
        for their ongoing contributions to education.
