                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        April 30, 2008.
Whereas education and knowledge are the foundation of America's current and 
        future strength;
Whereas teachers and other education staff have earned and deserve the respect 
        of their students and communities for their selfless dedication to 
        community service and the future of our Nation's children;
Whereas the purpose of National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4, 2008, through 
        May 10, 2008, is to raise public awareness of the unquantifiable 
        contributions of teachers and to promote greater respect and 
        understanding for the teaching profession; and
Whereas a number of organizations representing educators, such as the National 
        Education Association and the National Parent Teacher Association, are 
        hosting teacher appreciation events in recognition of National Teacher 
        Appreciation Week: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the United States House of Representatives thanks and 
promotes the profession of teaching to encourage students, parents, school 
administrators, and public officials to participate in teacher appreciation 
events during National Teacher Appreciation Week.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
