  Mr. BACA. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Costa and I rise to pay tribute to Mr. 
Pete Reyes, who is being honored this weekend as an Eagle Award winner 
by the Adelante foundation. Mr. Reyes is an individual of great 
distinction, and we join with family and friends in honoring his 
remarkable achievements and expressing great pride in the honor that is 
to be bestowed on him.
  Mr. Reyes has devoted his life to helping students through his chosen 
profession in education. He has been an incredible resource to the 
Clovis Unified School District and continues to work every day to 
improve the school community.
  For the past 38 years, Mr. Reyes has dedicated himself to educating 
the young minds of tomorrow and is currently serving the Fancher Creek 
Elementary School as Principal. In this capacity, he has been an 
integral contributor to the management and administration of the 
school, as well as leading the school to numerous awards in excellence 
in performance.
  Through his tenure as an educator, Mr. Reyes has exhibited kindness, 
love, humility, and a deep resolve to ameliorate all aspects of 
community life, so it is only appropriate that he receive this award 
from Adelante.
  We join with family and friends in thanking him for his 38 years of 
service. He is a symbol of all that is good in his profession and an 
inspiration to all that know him.
  And so, Mr. Speaker, we salute Mr. Pete Reyes. We express admiration 
in his career and hope that others may recognize his good works in the 
community.
