  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I take this means to honor Marcia Thompson, 
of Lexington, MO, for being chosen as the Lexington R-5 school 
district's Teacher of the Year.
  Mrs. Thompson has dutifully devoted 28 years of her life to educating 
America's children, the last 16 serving the youth of Lexington. She is 
a computer and business instructor. Mrs. Thompson was chosen at the 
2001 teacher appreciation dinner, sponsored by the Lexington Lion's 
Club. The award's winner is chosen from the five schools in the 
Lexington R-5 district.
  Mrs. Thompson has been a member of many organizations and received 
numerous awards. She has served on the Central District Business 
Educator's Association board as Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and 
President-Elect. She has also been named to Who's Who Among Missouri 
Business Educators.
  Mr. Speaker, Marcia Thompson dedicated 28 years to educating our 
youth, serving with honor and distinction. As she continues her role in 
the development of America's future, I am certain that the Members of 
the House will join me in wishing her all the best.
