           2009 NEW HAMPSHIRE EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AWARDS

 Mrs. SHAHEEN. Mr. President, today I congratulate the 
recipients of the 2009 New Hampshire Excellence in Education Awards. 
The New Hampshire Excellence in Education Awards, or ``ED''ies, honor 
the best and the brightest among New Hampshire's educators and schools.
  For the past 16 years, the ``ED''ies have been presented to teachers, 
administrators, schools, and school boards who demonstrate the highest 
level of excellence in education. Outstanding individuals have been 
compared against criteria set by others in their discipline through 
their sponsoring organization. Experienced educators and community 
leaders select outstanding elementary, middle, and secondary schools 
based upon guidelines established by the New Hampshire Excellence in 
Education Board of Directors.
  It is critical that all of our children receive a high quality 
education so that they can succeed in today's global economy. I am 
proud to recognize this year's recipients who will receive this 
prestigious award on June 13, 2009 for the positive examples they set 
for their peers and the lasting impact they have made on our children 
and communities.
  I ask that the names of the 2009 New Hampshire Excellence in 
Education Award winners be printed in the Record.
