                        Thursday, April 22, 1999

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, today I am honored to pay tribute to 
Dr. Caridad Perez, a dear friend and an outstanding educator who had 
completed thirty years of excellent academic achievements.
  As Principal of Edison Private School, Dr. Caridad Perez has been a 
positive influence in the lives of the many students with whom she 
actively interacts, as well as with the teachers and faculty members 
who seek her wisdom and experience for guidance.
  It is through Dr. Caridad's leadership, hard work and dedication to 
improving the lives of youth that she has helped scores of students 
acquire not only an exceptional, solid education, but a strong sense of 
values and morals that will help carry each student through a lifetime 
of success.
  On Sunday, April 25th, at the Tropigala Fontainbleu Hilton in Miami 
Beach, many of Dr. Caridad's grateful students and highly appreciative 
staff will gather for a festive luncheon accompanied by music to honor 
the loyal and beloved principal of Edison Private School for the praise 
and honor that she so earnestly deserves.
  I ask that my Congressional colleagues join me in celebrating Dr. 
Caridad's thirty years in educational excellence.
