  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Sharon Kosek of 
St. Joseph, Missouri. After long tenure in the St. Joseph, Missouri 
School District, Sharon will be retiring. Sharon has taught in the St. 
Joseph School District for the past 23 years and has recently been 
named the Association for Career and Technical Education Outstanding 
Teacher in Community Service. She has been a model of strong service 
and civic leadership.
  Sharon has served as the Business Coordinator and Administrative 
Office Systems instructor at the Hillyard Technical Center, as well as 
the advisor for the Phi Beta Lambda adult business student 
organization. Outside of the classroom, Sharon has remained active in 
the ACTE, Missouri ACTE, National Business Education Association, and 
as the Legislative Chairperson for the St. Joseph Parent Teacher 
Association.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Sharon 
Kosek. Her commitments to excellence in education and community service 
have remained as an inspiration to all of those people around her. She 
will certainly be missed and I would like to ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in thanking her for all of her hard work and 
dedication over the years. I am honored to represent her in the United 
States Congress.
