             RECOGNIZING DR. MARC VANKEUREN AND EDIE XIONG

  (Mr. BERA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BERA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Marc Vankeuren 
and Edie Xiong on being named the 2024-25 Twin Rivers Unified School 
Districts Teachers of the Year.
  Marc has spent the last 8 years teaching AP Physics, AP Environmental 
Science, and Physics of the Universe at Grant Union High School.
  Dr. Vankeuren's passion for science and innovative teaching methods 
ignites curiosity amongst his students and inspires them to engage in 
the world of science.
  Edie Xiong is a fifth grade teacher at Foothill Oaks Elementary 
School. Edie is currently finishing her 10th year teaching at Foothill 
Oaks where she is recognized for her contributions both inside and 
outside the classroom.
  Edie develops her classroom culture with a sense of family, 
instilling pride in her students, and motivating them to be successful 
in their future endeavors.
  These two exceptional teachers will now advance to the countywide 
level Teacher of the Year competition. Thank you for helping provide 
our Sacramento County students with the world-class education they 
deserve.
