 HONORING THE TEACHERS OF THE TITLE I RESOURCE PROGRAM AT THE MT. HOPE/
                       NANJEMOY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, this is National Teacher Recognition Week. I 
rise today to recognize three very special teachers in my district: 
Debbie Lane, Kathleen Donahue, and Deborah Walker. Together they run 
the title I resource program at Mt. Hope/Nanjemoy Elementary School in 
Nanjemoy, MD. The Mt. Hope/Nanjemoy Elementary School placed almost a 
full three points above the countywide average in the Maryland school 
performance assessment program. This improvement over last year's below 
average score is due in part to the efforts of these three very 
distinguished teachers.
  The Department of Education joins me in recognizing the Mt. Hope/
Nanjemoy Elementary School. This title I program is part of a select 
group honored by the Department of Education this week.
  I salute, Mr. Speaker, these three teachers and the title I resource 
program for its outstanding success. They touch the future, and the 
future will be better for their efforts.
