                        TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY

  (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, I rise in recognition 
of National Teacher Appreciation Day. Let us honor all of our teachers 
for their passion and dedication to educating America's future.
  Today, I would like to recognize Mrs. Pam Krey, a resident of the 
district that I represent, who has dedicated her life to education. 
Before launching her Anaheim Union High School District career as an 
administrator for 25 years, she taught at all levels in the Anaheim 
City School District. Mrs. Krey has said:

       The single most important thing we can do for our students 
     is to create a place for high levels of learning that is 
     safe, caring, and focused on developing the academic and 
     social skills that can take them to whatever their goals and 
     dreams may be.

  In addition to serving as principal, Mrs. Krey also served the 
community of Anaheim in Orange County. She's an active member of the 
Anaheim Police Chief's Advisory Board, the Cops 4 Kids Board, and Youth 
Leadership of America. She has received numerous awards throughout the 
years, including Teacher of the Year, Special Education Friend of 
Education, the Outstanding Contribution to Education Award from the 
Orange County Department of Education, and Disney's Community Services 
Award.
  Mrs. Krey will be retiring at the end of this academic year as 
principal from the very school she attended as a teenager.
  I encourage everyone to thank their teachers today.
