         HONORING MARIANNE McGUIRE OF ST. RENE CATHOLIC SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANIEL LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, December 8, 2006

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding 
educator in my district, Marianne McGuire, who has been nominated for 
entry into the 2007 edition of Who's Who Among American Teachers. For 
over 20 years, Mrs. McGuire has tirelessly served her students and the 
community at-large.
  Currently, Marianne McGuire teaches the fourth and fifth grades at 
St. Rene Goupil, a Catholic elementary school in Chicago's Clearing 
neighborhood. A graduate of Quincy University and a veteran teacher, 
Marianne brings valuable insight and perspective to the classroom. She 
has the reputation of being an excellent academic instructor who is 
involved in the lives of her students before and after school--
tutoring, assisting with the TerraNova tests, and coordinating the 
Geography Bee.
  Who's Who Among America's Teachers, first published in 1990, gives 
exceptional students an opportunity to honor the teachers who have 
positively contributed to their lives and invested in their futures. It 
is a great privilege to be included in this publication, which is meant 
to let teachers know that they truly make a difference. Mrs. McGuire's 
impact has given her a nomination to be included in this publication.
  It is my honor today to recognize Marianne McGuire for her 
achievements as an outstanding teacher. She and countless other 
educators serve to enhance our overall education system, while 
impacting one student at a time. I thank Marianne, along with all of 
our Nation's teachers, for their hard work, dedication, and noble 
service.
