  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Charles 
Boucher, an exceptional teacher and role model from Burriville, RI. Mr. 
Boucher has been named the Rhode Island Teacher of the Year for 2003. 
As an Applied Science and Technology teacher at Burriville High School, 
he has shown exemplary commitment to making education engaging and 
exciting. Under his tutelage, Mr. Boucher's students have received more 
than 30 state and national awards and his Bio Technology class was 
featured on a Discovery Channel program. His work and creativity have 
helped hundreds of students transition from school to the working 
world.
  Mr. Speaker, I find it heartening that there are educators in this 
country who devote so much time and effort to shaping the minds of our 
young people. I hope you and our colleagues will join me in recognizing 
Mr. Charles Boucher for his dedication to education and vocational 
training.
