  Mrs. BIGGERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mrs. Peggy 
Reipsa on the occasion of her retirement from Orland School District 
135. On June 30, 2006, Mrs. Reipsa will be stepping down after 34 years 
of distinguished service to the young people of Orland Park, Illinois.
  From 1977 to 1998, Mrs. Reipsa served School District 135 in multiple 
capacities, including that of Special Needs Resource Teacher, Reading 
Teacher, and Instructional Services Assistant. In July of 1998, she 
accepted a position as Principal of Orland Center School, where she has 
served the students, faculty, and the community with great distinction.
  On behalf of the families of School District 135, I would like to 
thank Mrs. Reipsa for her tremendous contribution to the education of 
so many young children over the years. Her guidance and leadership have 
helped countless children develop the confidence, knowledge, and skills 
to lead fruitful and fulfilling lives.
  So one again, I congratulate Mrs. Peggy Reipsa and wish her a happy 
and relaxing retirement.
