CONGRATULATIONS TO FORT WORTH INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT'S HUSBAND AND 
                        WIFE TEACHER OF THE YEAR

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mario Pureco-
Razo and Maria Ceron-Ponce, the first husband and wife to have ever 
been named as teachers of the year at their respective schools. Mario 
and Maria immigrated to the United States from Mexico to become 
bilingual educators.
  Maria, who teaches dual language for third grade at Glen Park 
Elementary School, and Mario, who teaches dual language pre-K at 
Mitchell Boulevard Elementary School, one of the many elementary 
schools I attended in Fort Worth ISD, have both proudly served the 
district for 7 years.
  While each present a different style of teaching in the classroom, 
both exemplify the dedication and passion needed to shape the minds and 
lives of our youngest members of society.
  Although we should recognize the hard work of all the teachers that 
perform on behalf of their students each and every day, today I want to 
recognize Maria and Mario's unique achievement.
  It brings me great pride to represent the teachers of Texas' 33rd 
Congressional District, and I wish Mario and Maria continued success.
  Congratulations on this outstanding achievement.
