                      NATIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, this week is National Public Schools 
Week. This is a week where we recognize all the schools, all the 
educators, all the students, and every educational professional's hard 
work that goes into a student's success.
  The strength of our Nation's public schools is a direct reflection of 
the strength of our Nation and a direct reflection on the strength of 
the future.
  I stand here in solidarity to recognize the great work these 
professionals commit themselves to. Educators and educational 
professionals dedicate their lives to all students, regardless of where 
they come from, and help them achieve in every single aspect of their 
lives.
  I am also proud to be a cosponsor of H. Res. 862, designating this 
week as National Public Schools Week.
  I thank all of the educators, educational professionals, and students 
whom those professionals will be shaping into the next generation of 
this great generation of America. May God bless them all.
