             RECOGNIZING JACQUELINE AND VICTORIA SCHNEIDER

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize two outstanding 
citizens from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who are making our community 
extremely proud.
  Jacqueline and Victoria Schneider, twin sisters from Holland, 
Pennsylvania, will be graduating from Neumann University in Delaware 
County this weekend.
  Throughout their time in college, Jacqueline and Victoria have been 
defined by their drive, their dedication, and their work ethic. Both 
women are standout students and athletes, competing on the Neumann 
Knights softball team.
  Notably, Jacqueline and Victoria are dual valedictorians for the 
Neumann University class of 2019. This is the first time in the 54-year 
history of the school that two students will be receiving the 
valedictorian medal, and both will have the opportunity to address 
their peers at graduation.
  I congratulate Jacqueline, who is pursuing a career in law 
enforcement, and Victoria, who is pursuing a career in education, on 
this outstanding achievement.
  I would also like to recognize their parents, Gerry and Karen 
Schneider, for raising such amazing children and future leaders of our 
community.


                  Recognizing Educator Josh Isaacsohn

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, this week is Teacher Appreciation

[[Page H3483]]

Week, and I rise to recognize an educator in Bucks County, 
Pennsylvania, who is teaching his students the value of good 
citizenship.
  Josh Isaacsohn, a fifth grade teacher at the Gayman Elementary School 
in Doylestown, was recently recognized by the Central Bucks school 
board for his work in the classroom.
  For the past 3 years, during each month of the school year, Josh has 
sent notes and drawings from his students to parents of members of our 
military who, in turn, would add them to care packages.
  Mr. Speaker, the men and women in our military deserve our full 
support and gratitude, and I thank Josh for teaching our community's 
kids about respecting and honoring our true American heroes.
  I would also like to thank Dr. John Kopicki, superintendent of the 
Central Bucks School District, and Glenn Schloeffel, president of the 
Bucks County school board, for all of their work as well. We thank them 
for their leadership in our community.


                     Recognizing Artists of Yardley

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a nonprofit 
organization in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, that was recently named 
Pennsbury School District's 2018-2019 Nonprofit Partner of the Year.
  Artists of Yardley, founded in 2004, is an organization dedicated to 
enhancing creativity in our community through immersion in the arts.
  Located at the Janney House on Patterson Farm in Yardley, Artists of 
Yardley boasts over 250 members and offers classes, workshops, and 
summer camps for young people in Bucks County. These opportunities, 
taught by professional art instructors, seek to amplify the artistic 
talents and education of our community's youth.
  Notably, for the past 3 years, Artists of Yardley has organized an 
art competition for Pennsbury School District students at its 
headquarters.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud Artists of Yardley for all of its amazing work 
with our community and for inspiring Bucks County students to pursue 
their dreams.
  I would also like to particularly thank Artists of Yardley's 
president, Alison Smith, and vice president, Jim Bongartz, for all of 
their work and service to our community.
