  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize North Texas 
teacher Denise Jones. Denise has faithfully served Birdville 
Independent School District for over 50 years as an administrative 
assistant and educator. Denise is a dedicated, loving and loyal teacher 
who cares about her students and their well-being.
  Joining Birdville ISD in 1972 as a senior in high school, Denise has 
shown unwavering commitment to the school district and her students. 
2023 marks her 50th year as an educator working across numerous grade 
levels and subjects. This year also marks her 25th working in the 
special education department. Denise believes regardless of what may be 
happening in the world, teaching children kindness should always be a 
priority. I think I speak for everyone in Birdville ISO and in Texas-24 
when I say thank you to Denise for devoting 50 years of her life to 
educating our children and securing their future.
  I congratulate Denise on earning this recognition for all her 
tireless and dedicated work.
