                    HONORING TEACHER EMILY JENNETTE

  (Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Emily 
Jennette, a teacher at Sawyer Road Elementary School in Marietta, 
Georgia, who was recently recognized as our State's Teacher of the 
Year.
  This award could not have gone to a more deserving candidate. Ms. 
Jennette is an exceptional educator, praised by her fellow teachers for 
her innovative teaching techniques, a commitment to learning and an 
outstanding ability to engage her students.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank both Ms. Jennette and another Cobb 
County teacher who was a top 10 finalist, Ms. Jennifer Dawson of Lost 
Mountain Middle School. Educators are among our communities' most 
valuable assets. Their gifts impact students in the classroom, and 
their lessons follow our children throughout life.
  Georgia is fortunate to have teachers like Emily Jennette educating 
our children, and I know she will make our State proud at the National 
Teacher of the Year competition.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me in congratulating Ms. Jennette 
and all the teachers who help mold our children's lives every day.
