  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation:
  Whereas, in the Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, our 
greatest and most valuable assets are our children. Our children are 
the future and are educated and guided by our teachers; and
  Whereas, Ms. LaToya Jowers is a teacher in DeKalb County, Georgia and 
an educator at Dunaire Elementary School, who has demonstrated fifteen 
years of leadership and service to our children and our district; and
  Whereas, Ms. Jowers has been awarded the honor of Teacher of the Year 
2015, representing Dunaire Elementary School; and
  Whereas, this phenomenal woman is not only active at Dunaire 
Elementary School, but also in our community, her sorority, Delta Sigma 
Theta Sorority, Inc., and her church, Greater Travelers Rest Baptist 
Church in Decatur, Georgia; and
  Whereas, Ms. Jowers can be described as a Proverbs 31 woman. She is 
devoted to serving our community daily as an educator who imparts 
knowledge and skills for the success of our children. She is a 
motivator, an innovator and a model citizen who gives and ask for 
nothing in return; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize Ms. LaToya Jowers for her 
leadership and service for our District and in recognition of this 
singular honor as 2015 Teacher of the Year at Dunaire Elementary 
School; now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby 
proclaim May 6, 2015 as Ms. LaToya Jowers Day in the 4th Congressional 
District.
  Proclaimed, this 6th day of May, 2015.
