                  IN RECOGNITION OF LAWRENCE S. SYKOFF

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 13, 2010

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lawrence Sykoff 
for his contribution and commitment to his community, and the 
subsequent honor he has received from the American Cancer Society (ACS) 
in appreciation of his efforts. Lawrence Sykoffis is a valuable member 
of my district. I would like to congratulate him on being the honored 
individual at ACS's Annual Golf Classic 2010.
  Lawrence Sykoff has been the Headmaster of Ranney School since 1993, 
a private elementary school in Tinton Falls, NJ, committed to high 
quality education. Mr. Sykoff is a highly influential force in the 
field of education, having been a teacher and administrator for over 35 
years, as well as an active member of the National Association of 
Independent Schools (NAIS), the Council for the Advancement and Support 
of Education, and the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools 
(NJAIS). The publications he has written for NAIS and doctoral 
dissertation on child education marks Mr. Sykoff as an exceptionally 
dedicated intellectual leader in the field of education. Moreover, in 
addition to his successful professional career, Mr. Sykoff is an active 
member of his community. He is on the Board of Trustees of the Count 
Basie Theatre, the Board of the Riverview Medical Center Foundation, as 
well as on the Board of the American Cancer Society. I, myself, have 
honored Mr. Sykoff on two occasions with a Certificate of Special 
Congressional Recognition for his community service. He is 
unquestionably deserving of our praise and attention.
  Madam Speaker, I would once more like to thank Lawrence Sykoff for 
his immeasurable contributions to my district and his community, and to 
again congratulate him for the honors he has received from the American 
Cancer Society in this year's Annual Golf Classic.
