  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute Elizabeth 
Spaulding Alexander on the occasion of her retirement from the 
Philadelphia School District.
  Ms. Alexander educated at Fayetteville State University, Marywood 
College, Temple University, University of the Arts and St. Joseph's 
University both in Philadelphia, began her tenure with the Philadelphia 
School District over 30 years ago. Ms. Alexander's teaching career has 
been marked by numerous awards and many classes of outstanding 
students. Alexander received the Celebration of Excellence in Teaching 
Award in 1986 and the Rose Lindebaum Improvement-of-Education Award in 
1987. These awards presented to Ms. Alexander were in recognition of 
her creative teaching techniques, her willingness to involve her 
students in extracurriculum activities, and her volunteer activities as 
a tutor in the Adult Literacy Program. Ms. Alexander is an outstanding 
person who should be commended for her numerous contributions to the 
field of education in the Philadelphia community.
  I wish to join today with the Philadelphia School District, Ms. 
Alexander's family and friends in recognizing her for her many years of 
service with the school district and the Philadelphia community. I wish 
you health, happiness, and prosperity in your retirement years. It is 
well deserved.
