           IN RECOGNITION OF OUR STELLAR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 9, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the hard working 
School Board members of Lamar Consolidated Independent School District.
  Our school board members of Lamar Consolidated ISD in the 22nd 
Congressional District of Texas play a critical role in the success of 
our schools. Our district is the most diverse and fastest growing 
congressional district in America, due largely in part to the hard-
working and caring educators and school board members that dedicate 
their time and energy on our schools; ensuring that our children can 
achieve whatever they set their mind to. Our school board members were 
elected or hired to be the caretakers of the American Dream--any child 
can be anything they want--if they receive the education that will give 
them the necessary tools to achieve their dream. Our schools are 
stronger because each of them embrace the challenge.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, thank 
you again to Lamar Consolidated ISD for being Super-Heroes in 
developing our leaders of tomorrow.
