  Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, I proudly recognize a wonderful citizen and 
community member from my Congressional District in California. Alice 
Rumbaugh will be recognized this weekend by the Sister City Association 
of Garden Grove.
  This is a local grassroots, citizen-directed effort to promote 
international understanding and build bridges between communities. The 
association carries on a relationship with Garden Grove's sister city, 
Anyang, South Korea. In a city that is home to so many Korean 
Americans, the association is to be commended for its work.
  And it is clear why Alice Rumbaugh was chosen for this honor. Alice 
is a master teacher who has proved her dedication to teaching our 
children to appreciate Hispanic culture. She was key to the 
establishment of the Spanish culture program at Pacific High School, a 
program that now travels throughout the district.
  Alice's colleagues, and all our city students, are fortunate to have 
the opportunity to take advantage of these resources and of Ms. 
Rumbaugh's tireless work.
  She is an award-winning educator, a master educator who has never 
given up in her efforts to inspire and empower her students. She is 
also known for her work as a mentor and a peer leader among her 
colleagues. Ms. Rumbaugh has been honored repeatedly for her innovation 
and excellence in her field.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Alice for her work. I am proud to honor 
her in Congress today.
