   IN RECOGNITION OF THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF NATOMAS UNIFIED SCHOOL 
                                DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DORIS O. MATSUI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 5, 2017

  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 25th 
Anniversary of the Natomas Unified School District. As staff, families, 
and community members gather to celebrate this momentous occasion, I 
ask all of my colleagues to join me in recognizing this outstanding 
school district and all that it has accomplished over the past 25 
years.
  On March 5th in 1991, the Natomas community overwhelmingly voted in 
support of a proposed Natomas Unified School District. It is hard to 
believe that 25 years have passed since July 1992, when the Natomas 
Unified School District officially was born. Today, the Natomas Unified 
School District serves over 15,000 students and their families in pre-
kindergarten through 12th grade. The school district now offers 
countless programs and services that help students be successful in 
school and ultimately graduate college and enter the workforce.
  I have seen firsthand the incredible impact the Natomas Unified 
School District has on our community. For 25 years, the dedicated staff 
of the Natomas Unified School District has carefully selected qualified 
and passionate teachers, involved the community in the education 
process, and worked tirelessly to meet the needs of students. These 
staff and teachers help create a safe and welcome learning environment 
for their students, and that important work truly has a positive impact 
on our community as a whole.
  Mr. Speaker, as the Natomas Unified School District and the community 
it serves gather to celebrate the District's 25th Anniversary, I ask 
all my colleagues to join me in honoring 25 years of providing high 
quality education for children and adults in Natomas.
