  Mrs. TORRES of California. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Deborah 
Brin Pruitt's 30 years of service to the families and children of the 
Pomona Valley as Director of the Temple Beth Israel Preschool and 
Daycare.
  Since her leadership of the school began in 1989, Deborah has helped 
shape the lives of children from well over one thousand families, 
providing a caring, creative, and safe learning environment that 
fosters emotional and intellectual growth and development for her young 
students.
  Through Deborah's management, the preschool has been an important 
asset to the synagogue community, both culturally and financially. 
Under her direction, the school has proudly opened its doors to 
children of all faiths and cultures, helping promote integration of the 
synagogue within the overall general community as she managed the 
business of the school to support the financial life of Temple Beth 
Israel.
  During her tenure as Director, Deborah has provided leadership and 
mentorship to dozens of early childhood education professionals. 
Supporting the professional growth of her staff at the temple, as well 
as sharing her knowledge for nearly a decade teaching child development 
courses at Chaffey Community College and American Nanny College.
  Deborah has been recognized as the ``Jewish Professional of the 
Year'' by the Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona 
Valleys, and she is an important member of the professional team that 
makes Temple Beth Israel a shining light in the Jewish community and 
the entire community of the Pomona Valley.
  For her leadership over these past 30 years, we honor Deborah Brin 
Pruitt on this day and thank her for her dedication and service that 
will continue to benefit Temple Beth Israel and the Pomona Valley 
community for generations to come.
