  Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mary 
Ellen Maske on being selected as the Iowa Central Office Administrator

Communities and her efforts to create school-community partnerships for 
parents and students in the community.
  Mary Ellen began her career as an elementary school teacher in Iowa 
City. She also previously served as an executive administrator in Cedar 
Rapids. She received her bachelor's degree in elementary education and 
her master's degree in educational administration, both from the 
University of Iowa.
  Mary Ellen was selected for this award by a committee of Iowa central 
office administrators. Mary Ellen has proven that she is a leader at 
her school and throughout the Cedar Rapids community. I'm proud to call 
her a constituent, and congratulate her on all of her success.
