              NEW HAMPSHIRE EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AWARDS

 Mr. SUNUNU. Mr. President, I wish to congratulate the 2007 
recipients of the New Hampshire Excellence in Education Awards. These 
prestigious awards, commonly called the EDies, are presented each year 
to individuals and schools who demonstrate the highest level of 
excellence in education.
  The EDies were founded as a way to honor the best of the best among 
New Hampshire's educators. In the 14 years since, there has been a rich 
source of talented and successful teachers, administrators, schools, 
and school boards to draw from to honor at each annual event. This year 
was no exception.
  Those individuals selected have been compared against a criteria set 
by others in their discipline through their sponsoring organization. 
Schools are also chosen by experienced educators and community leaders 
in New Hampshire based on guidelines established by the New Hampshire 
Excellence in Education Board of Directors. I am proud to recognize the 
individuals and schools who will receive this year's awards on June 9, 
2007.
  In addition, I would also like to recognize the many teachers who 
have played such an important role in my children's lives and in my own 
life, as well. As I serve in the Senate, I remain proud and grateful 
for the excellent education I received in the public education system 
of the State of New Hampshire.
  Mr. President, I ask that the list of the 2007 New Hampshire 
Excellence in Education Award winners be printed in the Record.
