                               RESOLUTION


 
   Recognizing the roles and contributions of America's teachers to 
building and enhancing our Nation's civic, cultural, and economic well-
                                 being.

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'', held during May 
        3, 2009, through May 10, 2009, 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 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.
