                        AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK

  (Mr. COSTELLO of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COSTELLO of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the 94th annual American Education Week and give thanks to the teachers 
and staff who dedicate themselves to the success and advancement of our 
children.
  Mr. Speaker, as the son and brother of a public schoolteacher, I am 
proud to cosponsor H. Res. 527, which supports the goals and ideals of 
American Education Week.
  For our public schoolteachers, what they do each and every day is 
more than just a job. It is a dedication to improve the lives and 
nourish the minds of their students and to strengthen the communities 
in which they live and work.
  American Education Week is just one small way we can recognize the 
service of our public schoolteachers. Teachers are a part of the 
building blocks of a healthy republic.
  To our schoolteachers and staff, I rise today to say thank you for 
all you do day in and day out.
