  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the twenty-two 
outstanding teachers in South Florida who have been awarded the Teacher 
of the Year award from the Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise.
  For the past 32 years, the Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise has 
offered this annual distinction to one teacher at each of the twenty-
two schools in the greater Boca Raton area. Each awardee is selected by 
the school's principal. These teachers have dedicated their time to 
inspiring, empowering, and bettering the next generation of youth in 
our community. Their passion in this effort is truly worthy of our 
recognition.
  These twenty-two exemplary teachers have made a profound impact on 
their students through their caring, commitment, and professionalism. 
They are a cohort defined by integrity, excellence, and the highest 
marks in all they do. The City of Boca Raton is fortunate to have such 
outstanding faculty.
  Congratulations to Chayane Oliveira, Irene Gonedes, Patricia Fusco, 
Kerry Maione, Jaqua Lewis, Alexandra Mangogna, Meghan Mooney, Melissa 
Pierce, Thomas Simone, Gary Aronson, Joni Webster, Robyn Jones-
Crockett, Deborah Straus, Susan Mallardi, Tara Clair, Josephine 
Saldana, Mary Shanty, Marcela Mendoza, Kathleen Loeffler, Karen 
Richards, Stephanie Stiepleman, and Danielle Alarcon on being nominated 
for this year's teacher of the year award.
  I am pleased to honor them, and I thank them for their continued 
service.
