                      Wednesday, December 5, 2007

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Erica 
French, a teacher at Lowery Road Elementary School in Fort Worth, 
Texas. Ms. French was chosen as one of fourteen recipients of the 2007-
2008 Chairs for Teaching Excellence award.
  The Fort Worth School District recognizes the teachers, and to be 
chosen, you must be nominated by a principal, parent, or colleague. The 
selection process also entails an interview and an evaluated teaching 
demonstration. The teachers were presented with their awards at the 
Petroleum Club of Fort Worth.
  It is my honor to represent a teacher such as Ms. French in the 26th 
District of Texas. Her dedication to education, her school, and her 
students and families of Fort Worth, Texas should be viewed as an 
example for all.
