  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the many 
accomplishments of Julian Monceaux, Hoffmann Lane Elementary School 
Teacher of the Year.
  Mr. Monceaux earned his Bachelor's Degree at the University of Texas 
at San Antonio. He is a veteran educator, with more than 20 years of 
teaching experience.
  Currently, Mr. Monceaux is the Physical Education Teacher for 
children of all grade levels at Hoffman Lane Elementary School in the 
Comal Independent School District.
  Mr. Monceaux believes strongly in the power of physical education to 
improve the lives of his students. He believes that physical education 
should provide' ``opportunities for students to develop physically, 
mentally, and socially.'' The program he teaches includes information 
and training to promote physical fitness, wellness, nutrition, 
sportsmanship, motor and manipulative development, specific skills 
development, coordination, and good lifetime habits.
  Julian Monceaux has distinguished himself through his tireless 
service to the children of Hoffmann Lane Elementary School and the 
people of Comal. His work as a physical educator is critical to the 
health and well-being of his students, and I am happy to have the 
opportunity to honor him here today.
