                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 7, 1999

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Fen Lewis of 
Strongville High School and Lois Klamar of Jamison CompuTech Center for 
receiving presidential teaching awards. Ms. Lewis and Ms. Klamar will 
receive their awards at a White House ceremony the week of June 7, 
1999.
  The Presidential Teaching Awards program recognizes a special group 
of elementary and secondary teachers for their commitment and 
dedication to nurturing student interest in science and mathematics. 
Ms. Lewis and Ms. Klamar are indeed very devoted teachers and are well 
deserving of these prestigious awards.
  They have set an example for all teachers across the nation to 
follow. We need more teachers like Ms. Lewis and Ms. Klamar to help our 
kids strive for excellence in the classroom. The students of these two 
schools should be honored and proud to have these people as their 
teachers and role models. Both teachers are excellent representatives 
of their schools because of their considerable accomplishments with 
their students. These teachers have been presented with one of the 
highest honors in their field and should be given their rightful 
recognition.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in honoring both of these 
outstanding teachers on receiving presidential awards.
