                        Thursday, June 24, 2021

  Ms. BUSH. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor and recognize Rose Mary 
Johnson, a recently retired educator.
  Ms. Johnson has led a life of service and true love of community. She 
has spent several successful years teaching and serving in 
administrative roles in schools around the region. Shortly after 
beginning her teaching career, Johnson enlisted in the United States 
Army Reserves. It was here that she completed and retired with 31 years 
of service at the rank of Master Sergeant and with an array of medals 
and honors for her service.
  In 1994, Ms. Johnson ran for the Jennings School Board on the 
platform that children needed to receive breakfast at school. She was 
successfully elected and has now just completed her 27th and final year 
on the board. Jennings Junior High was recently renamed Johnson 
Jennings Junior high school in her honor.
  Rose Mary has been recognized by countless organizations for her 
unyielding commitment to her community, and since retiring she has 
continued to volunteer in various capacities.
  For these reasons and more, St. Louis and I offer our deepest 
congratulations and gratitude to Rose Mary for her years of service. 
St. Louis has been enriched because of your contributions.

                          ____________________
