                 CELEBRATING NEW HAMPSHIRE'S EDUCATORS

  (Mr. GUINTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and give thanks to all 
New Hampshire's educators as we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation 
Day.
  Oftentimes our teachers don't get the thanks or credit that they 
deserve. Granite State teachers devote their lives to providing our 
children with the tools, the resources, and the attention necessary to 
be the very best that they can be.
  It is our teachers who listen to our children, challenge them, and 
inspire them to dream the impossible. They spend countless hours 
devoted to preparing our kids for the next challenge, whether that be 
passing a test or navigating conflict. They don't simply prepare them 
for the grammar quiz on Friday; they prepare them for the events that 
will test them throughout their lives.
  So to all those who teach our kids that anything is possible with 
hard work and dedication, thank you. To all those who encourage our 
students to shoot for the stars, I say, thank you. It is because of you 
that our Nation remains the world leader of innovation, ideas, and 
excellence.
