  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 shaped by our teachers; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Daphne Jackson King is a teacher in DeKalb County, 
Georgia and an educator at Dunaire Elementary School, who has 
demonstrated thirty two years of dedicated leadership and raising 
student achievement in my district; and
  Whereas, Mrs. King has been awarded the honor of Teacher of the Year 
2016, recognizing her exceptional teaching style at Dunaire Elementary 
School; and
  Whereas, this phenomenal woman is active at Dunaire Elementary 
School, her church, and in her community, in Decatur, Georgia; and
  Whereas, Mrs. King can be described as a Proverbs 31 woman. She is a 
wife, mother, daughter and a sister. She is devoted to serving our 
community daily as an educator who imparts knowledge and skills for the 
overall success of our children. She is a motivator, an innovator and a 
model citizen who gives and asks 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 Mrs. Daphne Jackson King 
for her leadership and service to my District and in recognition of 
this singular honor as 2016 Teacher of the Year at Dunaire Elementary 
School; now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby 
proclaim May 11, 2016 as: Mrs. Daphne Jackson King Day in the 4th 
Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 11th day of May, 2016.
