  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and 
acknowledge all the hardworking teachers being honored at the Rotary 
Club of Boca Raton's 40th Annual Teacher of the Year Awards Celebration 
for the Palm Beach County School District on March 26, 2026. As a 
father of two growing boys eager to learn, I know educators' lifelong 
impact on their students and families. Education is the foundation of 
our country's future, and as a community, we depend on our teachers 
daily to prepare the next generation of Americans.
  We are thankful to be gifted with extraordinary teachers in Florida's 
23rd Congressional District. As Teachers of the Year, they serve as an 
inspiration not only to their colleagues but also to educators across 
the region. These teachers serve as a shining example of the positive 
difference that teachers make in the lives of their students. Their 
passion, enthusiasm, and commitment to shaping the future leaders of 
tomorrow are truly commendable, and there is no doubt that they will 
continue to inspire and empower countless students in years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebrating all the teachers being 
recognized at the Rotary Club of Boca Raton's 40th Annual Teacher of 
the Year Awards Celebration: Mrs. Ella Pillitteri, Kathryn Vecchio, 
Nicole J. Wallace, Mrs. Rachel Bennett, Dr. Kimberly Carlo, Lonnie 
Varela, Grace Marie O'Dowd-Curra, Cherise Chase, Dr. Michelle Stuart,
