                      HONORING NANCY L. SCHUCKMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 4, 1997

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the work and 
achievements of Nancy L. Schuckman. Ms. Schuckman was born in the east 
New York section of Brooklyn and has dedicated her professional life to 
educating the children in that area.
  Soon after Nancy graduated from Brooklyn College in 1961, she began 
her career teaching at P.S. 202. For over 30 years Nancy has managed to 
provide invaluable services to everyone at P.S. 202. While working at 
the school, Ms. Schuckman has served as, an innovative and dedicated 
classroom teacher, a coordinator of social studies, reading, and 
physical education, a teacher trainer, a UFT chapter chairperson, an 
acting assistant principal, and a principal. Rarely, do we see the type 
of commitment, to an area and school, like that shown by Nancy 
Schuckman to P.S. 202.
  There is no doubt that she has left an indelible mark on all the 
teachers and students that she has come in contact with. Her 
professionalism and her dedication to education, and the style in which 
it is administered to students, is the benchmark for others who follow 
in her footsteps.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Ms. Schuckman and all her 
contributions in the field of education.
