              HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF NATHANIEL LAMPMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DEBBIE DINGELL

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 9, 2025

  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the career of 
Mr. Nathaniel (Nate) Lampman, Director of Bands at Saline Community 
Schools, on the occasion of his retirement. For nearly three decades, 
Mr. Lampman has proudly served the Saline School District in this 
position and his efforts are worthy of commendation.
  During his career as Director of Bands, Mr, Lampman directly touched 
the lives of over 3,000 students and impacted the lives of many others. 
Under his encouragement and care, Mr. Lampman led many of Saline's 
student musicians to great personal successes, including prestigious 
membership in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association's 
``All State Bands.'' Due in no small part to Mr. Lampman's leadership, 
the Saline Bands have achieved consistent musical excellence, as 
evidenced by the 1st division ratings that the Saline High School 
Marching Band routinely receives at marching band competitions.
  Mr. Lampman has been recognized on multiple occasions for his 
demonstrated talent as an educator. In 2017, he received the Michigan 
Association of Teacher Educators' Teacher of the Year Award for the 
State of Michigan. In association with Mr. Lampman's consistent 
leadership in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association, he 
was voted as District Teacher of the Year in both 2007 and 2015.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Nate 
Lampman for his decades of dedication to this school district. I 
sincerely thank Nate for his many years of service to his community, 
and join with his family, friends, and colleagues in extending my best 
wishes to him in his well-deserved retirement.
