     RECOGNIZING KEELIN BROUGHAN ON THE 2006 PRESIDENTIAL AWARD OF

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RAHM EMANUEL

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 16, 2007

  Mr. EMANUEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Keelin 
Broughan on winning the 2006 Presidential Award of Excellence in Math 
and Science Teaching.
  Ms. Broughan is a kindergarten teacher at Paul Revere Elementary 
School in Chicago. I often say that we need to start teaching math and 
science to our children as early as possible, and it doesn't get much 
earlier than kindergarten.
  Paul Revere Elementary is a Chicago Public School with a very long 
tradition in the community. Thanks to excellent teachers like Keelin 
Broughan, students from a variety of backgrounds are able to have 
access to an outstanding education.
  This week, Ms. Broughan will be presented with her award and have an 
opportunity to meet the President of the United States and her fellow 
award winners from across the country.
  Since 1983, over 3,700 teachers have received Presidential Awards for 
Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. The effort and ability 
of these educators will help ensure that our children are ably prepared 
for the coming years.
  Madam Speaker, I hope that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Keelin Broghan on her outstanding work in the classroom, 
and I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.

                          ____________________
