  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to an 
individual whose dedication arid contributions to the community of 
Corona, CA are exceptional. Corona has been fortunate to have dynamic 
and dedicated community leaders who willingly and unselfishly give 
their time and talent and make their communities a better place to live 
and work. Maggie Little is one of these individuals. On June 6, 2003 
Maggie will be honored as she retires after 36 years of dedicated 
service to the students, employees, parents, community and business 
members of the Corona-Norco Unified School District.
  Maggie has served in several capacities throughout her 36-year career 
with the Corona-Norco Unified School District including teacher, 
principal and administrator. She has always observed an ``open-door'' 
policy and provided guidance to those who looked for her help. She had 
extended her hand and expertise to support any child, teacher or 
employee and served as a role model and mentor to administrators, 
teachers and students. Throughout her career she has consistently 
displayed patience, dependability and integrity.
  Maggie's position as Corona-Norco Unified School District media 
spokesperson, the public relations liaison to community service 
organizations, has contributed immensely to improved communications to 
the public. Maggie oversaw the production of numerous educational 
publications informing the public of student and school achievements 
and contributed her time, energy, and outstanding organizational skills 
to numerous professional and community organizations in the cities of 
Corona and Norco and the County of Riverside in order to better inform 
residents of the high quality of education and academics in the 
community.
  Maggie's tireless passion for education has contributed immensely to 
the betterment of the community of Corona, California. Maggie has 
demonstrated her willingness to work hard for quality education and I 
am proud to call her a fellow community member, American and friend. I 
know that many children, parents, fellow teachers and administrators 
are grateful for her service and salute her as she retires.
