  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, in the Fourth Congressional 
District of Georgia, many schools strive to excel in competition on the 
national level.
  Ten years ago, the DeKalb County School system gave birth to Edward 
L. Bouie, Sr. Elementary School and named this extraordinary school for 
an extraordinary man.
  For 10 years now under the leadership and guidance of the past and 
present principals, teachers, staff, parents, and students, this school 
has met and exceeded national standards.
  The Edward L. Bouie, Sr. Elementary School family constantly 
demonstrates the will to win, the courage to win, the mechanics of 
teamwork and the astounding spirit of triumph gained from educating 
students to be the very best in leadership, scholarship, and service.
  Our beloved county, children, and community will benefit from the 
fruits of that labor insuring that our district, our state and our 
nation will always be prosperous and productive.
  This extraordinary school is celebrating the milestone of their 10th 
anniversary and I was pleased to proclaim May 18, 2007 as Edward L. 
Bouie, Sr. Elementary School Day in the 4th Congressional District.
