                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 21, 1997

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an individual who has 
dedicated her life to education. I am speaking of Ms. Jo-Ann Maxwell, 
who will be retiring on May 22, 1997, after a lifetime of exemplary 
service.
  Ms. Maxwell has been involved in education since her graduation from 
Indiana State Teachers College in 1958. She holds certificates in 
secondary speech and dramatics, secondary English, secondary education, 
as well as an elementary certificate. Currently, Ms. Maxwell is using 
her skills as a basic skills instructor for the upper elementary grades 
at Erial Elementary School. She has shown a deep commitment to passing 
along the skills that each student will need to be successful in the 
future. For her efforts, Ms. Maxwell received the prestigious honor of 
being selected as the 1986-87 Teacher of the Year.
  All who have known Ms. Jo-Ann Maxwell, especially those who have 
benefited from knowledge, are honored by her service to their 
community. On behalf of all the citizens of New Jersey, I thank and 
congratulate Ms. Maxwell. We all will miss her remarkable talents.
