  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the achievements of an 
educational role model, Doug Stoll.
  On July 7, 2005, The Creative Coalition and The American Federation 
of Teachers will honor Mr. Stoll with a 2005 Spotlight Award for 
Teaching Excellence.
  Mr. Stoll is a fifth-grade teacher at Canyon Charter School in Santa 
Monica, California. Canyon Charter was founded in 1894 and is the 
oldest elementary school in Los Angeles. It is a public school 
educating over 300 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
  When he accepts his award, Mr. Stoll will be accompanied by Lawrence 
O'Donnell, the father of one of his recent students, who is a political 
analyst, writer, and member of The Creative Coalition. I join Mr. 
O'Donnell in thanking Mr. Stoll for his commitment to the children at 
Canyon Charter School.
  I congratulate Mr. Stoll on receiving this award and commend him for 
his enthusiasm and dedication. I would also like to extend my 
appreciation to both The Creative Coalition and The American Federation 
of Teachers for their support of our public schools.
