                       HONORING SALLYE RUTH MOORE

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the amazing life of 
Sallye Ruth Moore, a trailblazer in education, a fierce advocate for 
equity, a beloved daughter of Grand Prairie, and a pillar of the 
community in Dalworth on San Antonio Street.
  Ms. Moore passed away this year at 91. She leaves behind a major 
legacy of education in the north Texas community.
  For over four decades, she devoted her life to uplifting students and 
breaking barriers, becoming the associate superintendent in the Grand 
Prairie ISD. Her journey began as a teacher, counselor, and principal, 
where she received numerous accolades for her excellence in the 
classroom and for shaping and forming students for generations.
  Ms. Moore's leadership wasn't just about academics. It was about 
dignity, discipline, and love. She was just an amazing person. A school 
was named after her, Sallye Moore Elementary, in the Dalworth community 
in Grand Prairie in 2001. Her legacy will live on for a very long time. 
She leaves behind a son, Greg.
  If she looks familiar, it is because she was the last remaining 
sibling out of the four Johnson kids. Eddie Bernice Johnson, our former 
colleague, was her sister.
  We remember Ms. Moore today as a servant leader, a giant in Texas 
education, and a beacon of hope. May her memory be a blessing, and may 
we all strive to follow her excellent example.
