COMMEMORATING THE SERVICE OF SUPERINTENDENT SANDRA BARRY TO THE ANAHEIM 
                          CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to 
honor the service of Anaheim City School District Superintendent Sandra 
Barry and to wish her luck in her upcoming retirement.
  Throughout her 11 years with the school district, including the last 
8 as superintendent, Mrs. Barry has done an excellent job leading the 
Anaheim City School District, which is the largest elementary school 
district in Orange County and one of the largest in the State of 
California.
  I applaud Superintendent Barry's commitment to the entire Anaheim 
community. Mrs. Barry has given her time and energy to many causes, 
including being on the board of directors for the Tiger Woods 
Foundation, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, the YMCA and the Police 
Chief Community Advisory Board. Her dedication to the community and the 
future of our Anaheim children is clear through her many achievements.
  I sincerely thank superintendent Barry for her leadership, her 
commitment and her dedication to brightening the academic future of 
every Anaheim elementary student. She will be missed, but her lasting 
influence, and especially with respect to all the educators in the 
district, will go on for a long time in Anaheim.
  I wish my good friend the best in her retirement, and I thank her for 
making the Anaheim City School District a great place to learn.
