                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 31, 2011

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Marie 
Rossmann on being named the Texas State Assistant Principal of the 
Year. Dr. Rossmann has worked diligently to promote the high 
educational standards of the 26th District of Texas. She has been an 
educator for two decades, and has maintained her passion and optimism.
  Most recently, Dr. Rossmann spearheaded the Yellow Project. With the 
Yellow Project, Dr. Rossmann seeks to ``assist teachers with specific 
interventions which enable students to become more successful in the 
classroom.'' This effort is unique in that it encourages teachers to 
take the entire child into account when coming up with a way to address 
his or her particular needs. It is so easy to think about the education 
system as one giant entity, but Dr. Rossmann reminds us that it is in 
fact a system composing many individual students.
  It is this determination and insight that made Dr. Marie Rossmann an 
obvious choice for the Texas State Assistant Principal of the Year. I

am encouraged to know there are people like Dr. Rossmann who are making 
an impact on our children's lives. Please join me in recognizing this 
world class educator on her wonderful work.
