  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mrs. 
Sandra S. Walker, principal of Rock Creek Forest Elementary School in 
Chevy Chase, MD, who is retiring after a long and distinguished career 
with the Montgomery County Public Schools.
  Mrs. Walker attended Montgomery County public schools as a student 
and has now spent more than 30 years working for MCPS as a teacher and 
administrator.
  For the past 18 years Mrs. Walker has been principal at a very 
challenging and complex school. Rock Creek Forest Elementary School has 
both an English community program and a countywide Spanish immersion 
magnet program. The school also blends a student body of great ethnic 
and economic diversity. Mrs. Walker has served this school with 
dedication and distinction.
  On behalf of the students, parents, teachers and staff of Rock Creek 
Forest Elementary

Sandra Walker for her service to our children and our community. 
Congratulations on an exemplary career. You have my best wishes for an 
enjoyable retirement. You will be missed at Rock Creek Forrest.
