                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. JOHN K. DELANEY

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 2014

  Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize and honor the 
following Teachers for being named Teacher of the Year in their 
counties, each of which is in Maryland's Sixth District:

       Mrs. Dana Reinhardt: Teacher of the Year Allegany County 
     Public Schools, 3rd Grade, George's Creek Elementary School.
       Ms. Erin Doolittle: Teacher of the Year Frederick County 
     Public Schools, Pre-K, Hillcrest Elementary School.
       Mr. Ryan Wolf: Teacher of the Year Garrett County Public 
     Schools, Math, Southern Garrett High School.
       Mrs. Jane Lindsay: Teacher of the Year Montgomery County 
     Public Schools, 8th Grade Reading and English, John Poole 
     Middle School.
       Mrs. Courtney Leard: Teacher of the Year Washington County 
     Public Schools, 2nd Grade, Fountaindale Elementary School.

  There are few callings more important to society than teaching, and 
these teachers have shown extraordinary skill, commitment, and 
ingenuity in the classroom. Dana Reinhardt, Erin Doolittle, Ryan Wolf, 
Jane Lindsay, and Courtney Leard have made a difference for their 
students and made their communities stronger. Their example is a 
reminder of the great work done by teachers across Maryland and around 
the country. Every child in America deserves teachers like this and 
schools that position them to succeed as adults.
  It was my sincere honor to meet with them in the U.S. Capitol and 
hear their perspective on the major issues in education today.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in congratulating these Teachers of the Year for their 
tremendous achievement.
