                       REMEMBERING LISA SANDOMIR

  Mr. GALLEGO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life and 
mourn the loss of Lisa Sandomir. Ms. Sandomir was a longtime Phoenix-
area educator and principal of Maurice C. Cash Elementary School for 
the past sixteen years. She passed away tragically last week as the 
result of a car accident.
  Ms. Sandomir was beloved by students, parents, and fellow teachers. 
During her time as principal, M.C. Cash was named an A+ School of 
Excellence and, in 2015, she was awarded the prestigious Rodel 
Exemplary Principal award for her leadership. Ms. Sandomir believed in 
creating a positive environment where every student was given the 
opportunity to succeed and often reminded her students to never stop 
believing in themselves, just as she never stopped believing in them.
  My thoughts are with Ms. Sandomir's family, the students and staff of 
M.C. Cash Elementary School, and the entire Laveen community during 
this difficult time. Although Ms. Sandomir will be greatly missed, her 
legacy will be carried on through the thousands of students whose lives 
she touched.
