  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Flower Mound 
Elementary School as it celebrates 20 years in the 26th District of 
Texas. Flower Mound Elementary, a Blue Ribbon School, prides itself on 
offering students opportunities, which allow them to go farther than an 
average education.
  Flower Mound Elementary has been enriching the lives of students, 
teachers and our community for two decades now. The foundation that 
Flower Mound Elementary and primary schools across our country provide 
is essential to the development and success of our children in the 
long-term. Education is one of the most important gifts we can give our 
children and I commend Principal Gail Ownby and all the teachers and 
staff at Flower Mound Elementary for their continued commitment to our 
future, our children.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I stand here today to honor 
Flower Mound Elementary and all those who serve the greater good by 
making the choice to teach in today's education system.
