       RECOGNIZING BUCKS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE MEN'S GOLF TEAM

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Bucks County 
Community College men's golf team for their strong performance this 
season, their first year competing as a Division II athletic program.
  While golf season for most Americans is just underway, the Bucks 
County Community College men's golf team has been playing since March. 
Earlier this month, the team secured a bid to the 2019 NJCAA Division 
II Men's National Golf Championship after winning their regional golf 
championship at Cumberland Country Club in Maryland with a combined 
team score of 320.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to particularly recognize golfer Chris 
Benvenuto and Coach Scott Bradshaw for their work in guiding this team 
to such success. We wish them and all Bucks County golfers all the best 
of luck as they move on to compete in Indiana and beyond. Our entire 
Bucks County community is incredibly proud of each and every one of 
these team members and Bucks County Community College.


                       Teacher Appreciation Week

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week, 
and I rise to recognize an outstanding school faculty member from Bucks 
County, Pennsylvania.
  Jeff Klein, a guidance counselor at Tamanend Middle School in 
Warrington, was recently named the winner of the Unsung Heroes Award, 
sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the 
Council for the Advancement of Public Schools. In addition to his work 
counseling students, Jeff serves as a coach and works to give students 
additional learning opportunities both inside and outside of the 
traditional classroom.
  With this prestigious honor comes a $2,000 grant, which Jeff says 
will be put toward the painting of a mural in the Tamanend gym that 
honors the basketball tournament he conducts to fundraise for the Kelly 
Anne Dolan Memorial Fund, a nonprofit organization in Montgomery County 
that assists families raising children with disabilities.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Jeff, and I thank him for his 
service to our community.
  I would also like to thank the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund, PSEA, 
and Tamanend Middle School and their principal, Dr. Brian Caughie, for 
all they do to educate our youth and to serve all those in need in our 
community.


                       Teacher Appreciation Week

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week, 
and I rise today to recognize a dedicated educator from Bucks County, 
Pennsylvania.
  Andrea Mangold, a teacher at the Holland Elementary School, was 
recently named an Outstanding Earth Science Teacher for the State of 
Pennsylvania by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. These 
awards are given to educators who contribute greatly to students' 
interest in earth science at the precollege level. In June, Andrea will 
be recognized by her peers at the National Association of Geoscience 
Teachers' Eastern Section Meeting.
  Mr. Speaker, I am grateful for Andrea's work and appreciate her 
dedication for instilling a passion for science and learning in our 
community's youth.
  I would also like to recognize Holland Elementary School Principal 
Joe MacClay and the National Association of Geoscience Teachers for all 
they do to educate and inspire our next generation of leaders.
