                         Friday, July 25, 2003

  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Margaret Elder, a teacher at Anaheim High School for being selected as 
one of 32 teachers tapped for Disney's annual American Teacher Awards.
  The 32 selected teachers are chosen from a field of over 185,000 from 
across the nation.
  Award winners are selected for their innovative approaches to 
teaching that are above and beyond the standard school curriculum.
  In these tough economic times, as teachers work with limited 
resources and many programs in our schools being hurt by budget cuts 
and lack of proper funding, it is particularly inspiring to have 
teachers like Ms. Elder in our schools.
  It is my privilege to congratulate her on this accomplishment. Our 
educational system and our teachers are our most important asset and we 
must support them: Not just for our children, but for our future.
