                   NATIONAL TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY

  (Mr. O'HALLERAN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. O'HALLERAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on National Teacher 
Appreciation Day to praise the work of educators and school staff in 
Arizona and across the Nation. These men and women are shaping the 
lives of our children and preparing them at every educational level for 
a successful future.
  I am married to a teacher, Mr. Speaker, and she and all teachers will 
tell you that there is no such thing as a former teacher; they are 
educators for life.
  I am grateful for the teachers I have had over the years, and I am 
proud to stand with Arizona and America's teachers as they demand 
adequate pay for the important work they do.
  Investing in education will spur economic growth, create jobs in 
communities across the country, and allow future generations to thrive.
  Mr. Speaker, we must do more to support our schools, our educators, 
and our students.
