                        Tuesday, April 19, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Teacher of the Year 
Rosalinda De La Rosa for her countless contributions to the children of 
the Bonham Early Childhood Center.
  Mrs. De La Rosa began her career at Bonham by teaching Pre-
Kindergarten Bilingual Education. She has now taught at Bonham for 2 
years. She has a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Texas 
State University and she is certified in Early Childhood Education and 
Bilingual Education.
  Mrs. De La Rosa is a teacher who loves to shape and mold the minds of 
her students. She helps them understand that school is a safe and 
wonderful environment and encourages them to learn everything that they 
can. She teaches them that even though they may be young they are 
important to the class, and she helps them understand about classrooms 
and rules.
  Her goal as a teacher is to make every day an enjoyable day by 
letting her preschoolers know that she cares about them and that she is 
there to listen to their concerns.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have Mrs. De La Rosa teaching the students 
of my district and I am honored to have had the chance to recognize her 
today.
