                    IN RECOGNITION OF BARBARA BOSCH

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN R. ROTHMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 18, 2004

  Mr. ROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, America's future is contingent upon the 
leadership, vision, and commitment of teachers, and a life dedicated to 
the education of our children is one that should be both acknowledged 
and praised. Thus, I would like to recognize Ms. Barbara Bosch, an 
educator in the East Rutherford school district in New Jersey and a 
member of the New Jersey Education Association, who will be retiring 
this June after 41 years of teaching.
  Ms. Bosch's devotion, creativity, and resourcefulness as an educator 
helped her to meet the diverse needs of her students in the continually 
evolving field of education over the past several decades. Her 
dedication to her students was displayed in part by the many hours 
spent with them both inside and outside the classroom. Ms. Bosch's 
dedication and strong character allowed her to fulfill her professional 
responsibilities at the highest level, and serve as a role model for 
her students and colleagues. Such achievements in the field of 
education were so admired and respected by her colleagues, that the 
East Rutherford Educational Community has proclaimed June 2004 as 
``Barbara Bosch Month.''
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Barbara Bosch as a person who served our Nation as a distinguished 
educator of our children for 41 years. We are all deeply indebted to 
Ms. Bosch and teachers like her for their service to our Nation's 
schoolchildren. Along with all those students, parents, and other 
educators in East Rutherford who have come to know Ms. Bosch, I wish 
Ms. Bosch much happiness in her well-deserved retirement.
