                               RESOLUTION


 
 Recognizing the teachers of the United States for their contributions 
            to the development and progress of our country.

Whereas education is the foundation of the current and future strength of the 
        United States;
Whereas teachers and other education staff have earned and deserve the respect 
        of students and communities for selfless dedication to children in the 
        United States;
Whereas the purpose of ``National Teacher Appreciation Week'', which is May 6, 
        2013, through May 10, 2013, is to raise public awareness of the 
        important contributions of teachers and to promote greater respect and 
        understanding for the teaching profession;
Whereas the teachers of the United States play an important role in preparing 
        children to be positive and contributing members of society; and
Whereas students, schools, communities, and a number of organizations host 
        teacher appreciation events in recognition of ``National Teacher 
        Appreciation Week'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) thanks teachers for their service;
            (2) promotes the profession of teaching; and
            (3) recognizes students, parents, school administrators, 
        and public officials who participate in teacher appreciation 
        events during ``National Teacher Appreciation Week''.
