                      IN HONOR OF MARLENE COVIELLO

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN R. ROTHMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 4, 1999

  Mr. ROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join the East Rutherford 
Educational Community in recognizing December as ``Marlene Coviello 
Month'' and in paying tribute to Marlene Coviello on the occasion of 
her retirement from the East Rutherford school system after twenty-
three years.
  Throughout her career, Marlene's teaching was characterized by a true 
commitment to her students' learning and her unending enthusiasm for 
imparting knowledge to them. Her integrity, sense of responsibility, 
and professionalism made her a role model, not only for her students 
but for her colleagues as well.
  Marlene Coviello's resourcefulness and creativity as an educator 
enabled her to meet the changing needs of her students in the 
constantly evolving field of education. By teaching her students to 
love learning, she demonstrated why these qualities are a teacher's 
greatest assets.
  Her smile, sense of humor, and vivacity define her as an individual 
and illustrate why her fellow teachers enjoyed working with Marlene and 
why her students learned so much from her. Marlene's determination and 
strength of character enabled her to prepare the children of East 
Rutherford for the challenges of adulthood.
  I would like to join Marlene Coviello's students, family and fellow 
teachers in wishing her the very best as she prepares to embark on the 
next chapter in her life and in thanking her for twenty-three years of 
service on behalf of her community.
