                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 15, 2007

  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Mrs. Lisa Hussung, an exemplary citizen from my Congressional District 
who was recently named Elementary Music Teacher of the Year by the 
Kentucky Music Educators Association.
  A music teacher at Rich Pond Elementary School in Warren County, 
Kentucky, Mrs. Hussung demonstrates a special ability to relay her 
passion for music on to her students. She consistently engages students 
with her interactive teaching style, instilling an appreciation for 
music that often continues many years after they have left the 
classroom.
  Mrs. Hussung's influence extends outside of the classroom, 
particularly through her work with other music professionals to build a 
stronger music curriculum in Warren County. She often leads student 
groups in choral, instrumental and dance performances, providing 
opportunities for young artists to publicly showcase their talents.
  The combination of Lisa Hussung's two greatest passions, music and 
teaching, has made her career as a music teacher the perfect job. In 
her words, ``There is nothing better than singing and dancing all day 
while still teaching and seeing my students learn.''
  It is my great privilege to recognize Lisa Hussung today before the 
entire U.S. House of Representatives for her excellent work in public 
education. Her unique dedication to the development of young people and 
the communities they will someday serve make her an outstanding citizen 
worthy of our collective honor and appreciation.
