  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute and to congratulate the 
outstanding accomplishments of ten distinguished teachers from New 
Jersey. These great individuals have dedicated over twenty years each 
to educating and uplifting New Jersey's brightest little stars: our 
youth. They have truly demonstrated a solid commitment to building 
strong foundations for their students; in and outside of the 
schoolrooms.
  As a result of their diligent work towards promoting leadership in 
our children, these teachers will be honored by the Phi Chapter of lota 
Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. on November 20. lota Phi Lambda Sorority, a 
national business women's sorority, is devoted to projecting the 
philosophy of the pursuit of excellence in all worthy endeavors among 
youth.
  The teachers being honored during the Apple for the Teacher program, 
part of the National Education Week celebration, are: Carolyn S. Banks; 
Gloria J. Bartee; Henry B. Clark; Phyllis K. Donoghue; Victoria Gong; 
Mary Jo Grimm; Gail D. Lane; Robin C. Lewis; Simone Wilson; Kathleen 
Witche.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that all my colleagues join me in congratulating 
these superb teachers on their efforts to improve the community. When 
our teachers demonstrate such initiative, we as a nation prosper.
